An amount of approximately R12 000,00 per annum, towards book and pocket money
Note:
Prescribed tuition fees, registration fees and exam fees are paid directly to the university.
Students will be required to pay for any repeat subjects.
Fees for accommodation are paid directly to the university if the student is staying in university-administered accommodation

Book and pocket money will be paid directly to the individual.
