More and more corporate employers are reluctant to consider candidates who lack a formal university education for senior management and executive roles, no matter how deep their track records are.

The University of Cape Town offers a pre-admissions career councelling service at the UCT Development Centre, based on Upper Campus in Cape Town.

The service is aimed at school leavers and those who are considering applying for a university degree. Their priority is to assist potential UCT applicants, but in some circumstances counsel learners who do not qualify for a Matric exemption.
