Frequently Asked Questions
Business School programmes: Admission via the RPL Route (Entry Route 2)
In exceptionally limited cases, admission to the qualification may also take place via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). This is because RPL admissions are limited to 10% of the total intake and are, therefore, often oversubscribed. To apply via the RPL route, kindly contact the respective Programme Manager before applying online for admission on RPL grounds:
MBA and PGDBA applicants can do this through the Milpark Helpdesk at helpdesk.milpark.ac.za.
In addition to fulfilling the standard (Entry Route 1) selection criteria, RPL applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Be at least 30 years of age.
- Have at least 10 years of significant senior management work experience.
Note: only once all Entry Route 1 places have been finalised will a limited number of RPL candidates be admitted onto the qualification.
International Students
International applicants whose first language is not English are required to provide proof of proficiency in English before admission to the qualification.
Further to the requirements for admission provided above, foreign nationals or South African nationals seeking to apply for admission onto the qualification based on a non-South African/foreign NQF Level 8 equivalent qualification or degree must obtain – and submit to Milpark – a Certificate of Equivalence from the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) (www.saqa.org.za).
Is an entrance assessment required for the MBA programme?
Yes. All applicants for the MBA programme must achieve an acceptable rating in the Milpark Education admission test administered by Top Talent Solutions (TTS).
What if I’ve already taken an entrance assessment?
If you’ve previously written the TTS test and the results are still valid, you won’t need to take it again.
Are there any alternatives to the TTS entrance assessment?
Yes. If you’ve taken the GMAT, NMAT, APIL or SHL tests and have valid results, you may submit those for evaluation instead.
Is there an age requirement for the MBA programme?
Yes, applicants must be at least 25 years old to be eligible for the MBA programme because it is designed for professionals with a postgraduate degree and substantial work experience.
How many module exemptions can I get if I move from the Milpark PGDBA to the MBA?
You can receive exemptions for five modules. This enables you to potentially complete the MBA programme in a shorter period.
