Ultrasound imaging; DUT lists a four-year full-time qualification. This is a separate qualification from diagnostic radiography. DUT 2027: NSC with 28 points or more; English, Mathematics, Physical Sciences and Life Sciences at level 4, plus one other 20-credit subject at level 4. Mathematical Literacy and Technical Mathematics are not accepted in place of Mathematics, and Technical Science is not accepted in place of Physical Sciences. DUT's basic training requirements: minimum age 18 years as at end of December 2026, and students must be physically fit; an applicant with severe disability and/or blood-related illness may not be accepted, and all students have compulsory medicals in their first week. The CAO gives first preference to applicants who never studied previously at any other university. CAO 2027 (DU-D-RAS): applicants are only considered if they place this programme as choice 1; entrance test, clinical-centre visits (at least 8 hours in the department) and interviews may be required. The CAO lists 31 August 2026 as the closing date for DUT's radiography degrees, so 2027 applications have closed.

Imaging and treatment using radioactive materials, with clinical training. This is a separate qualification from diagnostic radiography. Neither DUT's 2027 Study Opportunities prospectus nor the CAO Handbook for 2027 entry lists this degree (DUT's radiography department lists three degrees for 2027: Diagnostic Radiography, Diagnostic Sonography and Radiotherapy and Oncology), so a 2027 intake appears unlikely. Confirm with DUT before planning around it.

UJ 2027 example: English level 5, Mathematics level 4, Physical Sciences level 4, Life Sciences level 5; APS 31 with Mathematics. Technical Mathematics and Technical Sciences are not accepted.
NSC/IEB minimums can be checked in My Map using your results. Other curricula need a separate programme check.
Published minimums only. Selection, bachelor admission, any extra requirements and available places still apply. UJ ranks all applicants from highest to lowest APS when it makes final selections in January, and says that meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee a place.
Rough guide: whole degree = first-year tuition × years. Fees rise every year; add books, equipment, transport and living costs. Some health routes include service or internship stages with their own pay and expenses: confirm them for your route.
