  1. National Senior Certificate (NSC) with admission to Bachelor’s Degree
  2. Senior Certificate (SC) with Endorsement/ Exemption; or
  3. Qualify for Conditional Exemption (students with foreign school leaving qualifications, students older than 45 years of age). These students are required to have their school leaving qualifications evaluated by HESA / matriculation board prior to registration with Lyceum.

To enrol for the Bachelor of Commerce (Cost and Management Accounting/Financial Accounting) you need an Admission Point Score (APS) of at least 38, as well as four subjects from the designated list and a pass in Mathematics on at least level 5 (60 69 %).

A student with the above APS meets the minimum admission requirements for the Bachelor of Commerce (Cost and Management Accounting/Financial Accounting) programme.
In addition to the minimum APS requirement, additional subject requirements have been set. These include:

  1. Mathematics: This is required for certain programmes. Only performance in the core Mathematics topics (papers 1 and 2) will be used when making admission decisions. However, school students are encouraged to also take the optional Mathematics topics. In certain programmes, applicants who have Mathematical Literacy instead of Mathematics may be admitted to a programme where a Mathematics entry requirement has been set. In this instance, additional modules may be added to the programme, which may extend the length of the programme.
  2. Mathematical Literacy: In view of the importance of quantitative literacy for success at Higher Education studies, a minimum of a 3 (40 49%) for Mathematical Literacy is preferred for likely admission to National Higher Certificate and National Diploma programmes and a 4 (50-59%) for likely admission to degree programmes where Mathematics is not a requirement, unless otherwise indicated.

Students who have not completed Accounting at NQF level 4 (Senior Certificate/matric) will be required to complete Introduction to Finance offered at Lyceum, as a bridging course.
