CAREER ADVICE SERVICE

Prospective students are confronted with a wide variety of programme and career options - undoubtedly an advantage, also a significant challenge. Stellenbosch University prioritises assistance to prospective students in facilitating realistic programme and career choices.

It is for this reason that we offer a professional career advice service.

This service is available to grade 11 and 12 learners. The assessment includes a 4 hour psychometric assessment of personality, aptitude and interests, and a 1 hour individual feedback session, as well as a written report of the results and recommendations.Recommendations are made based on the client's unique profile and can therefore include programmes at a variety of higher education institutions. This opportunity is offered to all prospective students and not only to those who wish to study at Stellenbosch University.

GRADE 9 SUBJECT CHOICE GUIDANCE

There are various factors that play a role in the process of making a successful career choice. One of the first considerations is a realistic and informed subject choice for grades 10 to 12. A learner's subject choice can have significant implications in terms of a future career. Often, there is lack of understanding regarding the important considerations that contribute to making the correct subject choice. In order to support learners in their subject choice process, Stellenbosch University's Centre for Student Recruitment and Career Advice, offers professional subject choice guidance to grade 9 learners.

An assessment includes a 4 hour psychometric assessment of personality, aptitude and interests, and a 1 hour individual feedback session, as well as a written report of the results and recommendations. Recommendations are made objectively, impartially and in line with the learner's profile, as well as his/her school's subject choice package. The learner is also made aware of the impact that his/her choice may have on tertiary study programmes and/or careers.
