| Prospective students who did not obtain a Bachelor’s Degree Pass will not be considered for an IIE MSA formal qualification even though the Admission Point Score (APS) does comply with the minimum requirements. A Grade 12 certificate with university exemption is required if Grade 12 was obtained before 2008. For prospective students in Grade 12, conditional admission is granted based on the results obtained in the final Grade 11-year marks or midterm Grade 12 marks. Please note that the final Grade 12 results remain the determining factor for admission. Also, note that the achievement of the minimum requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission to any programmes or fields of study. |
