What Profgrad is all about!
Profgrad would like to take the next few
weeks to discuss what the website is all about. It is important for students in
South Africa to know the information set out in this website before they begin
their journey as students and study towards a certain career. Profgrad has a
significant amount of information available to these students in order for them
to plan their future. This website will be able to answer a lot of the
questions you might have. This week we will discuss how to get into University.
This question might sound simple but there
are a lot of things to take into account. Firstly the website will be able to
assist you in your APS calculation. By entering the subjects and symbols that
you have achieved, the system will be able to automatically calculate what your
APS is. Using this information you will be able to see whether you qualify to
study a certain degree. To calculate your APS Score, use the link below.
If you are unsure on what you would like to
study, it is important to do a career aptitude test. The test will take a
person’s interests, personality, skills and aptitude into account and will give
an outcome of which career path the individual should be looking at. The
website will provide you with links you can go to in order to do a quick and
free career aptitude test. To see examples of the questions in a career
aptitude test please use the link below.
There are a lot of terms that are used at
University that are not part of the normal terms used in everyday life. The
website will be able to provide you with frequently used terms as well as the
relevant definitions. At school you are used to calling the educator a teacher.
This is not the correct term to use at university and many students will laugh
at you for using just that. The correct term to use will be dean, lecturer or
professor. For more terms used at University use the link below.
Getting
a degree can be very expensive and not all students have the means to fund this
out of their pockets. Profgrad has discussed the different ways of funding
further education on the website. On the website you will be able to get
knowledge on the different options available. These examples range from student
loans, bursaries, part time studies, University Financial Aid and National
Financial Aid. These are all options worth taking a look at. To see an
explanation on each use the link below.
