Enrol in one course at a time. Start with TSS443 Study and Career Preparation. Then in your next trimester do TSS444 Tertiary Study Skills. You must successfully complete these courses before you can do the elective course.

If you are studying this programme you are only able to enrol in one course at a time.

This programme includes three courses worth 20 credits each.

 After you complete the two compulsory courses, choose your third course from the elective pathways:

•  Business
• Applied science
• Social science
• Information Technology
• Library and Information Studies

 The elective course will count towards an Open Polytechnic qualification at Level 5 or above.
