Do you offer part time courses? And do you have music teaching?
Unfortunately, all undergraduate programmes still require full-time study.
Hi I’m a second year student at the Puk and was wondering if it’s able to also do Vocal Studies?
If you are studying something else, you could continue with vocal lessons as a Conservatory student. Unfortunately, we don’t have any more places available for singers, but you could apply for next year. Contact us again by October.
Kindly advise on procedures to enroll into the PhD Music Education program.
Please contact the Research Niche Leader, Dr Liesl van der Merwe, in this regard: [email protected]

Hi my name is Edwin is i have grade 5 practical in euphonium but i did nt pass my matric and i did do matric so i want to ask if is it possible for me to apply?
A Matric certificate with an endorsement for diploma study is required for admission to the Diploma in Music. Matric exemption is required for degree study. No tertiary study is possible without having passed Matric. You should therefore consider completing Matric first.
I’m 30 years old & I have matric but I can sing but I’m not good @ piano,, can a man @ my age apply again not being good @ piano?
Piano is not required for admission, as long as you have another instrument/voice to present as your main performance study. Keyboard Skills is part of both the Diploma in Music and BA Music & Society programmes.
So there are no auditions for percussion instruments, as in like drums??
No, we don’t offer percussion, sorry.

HI, my daughter wants to do BMus in Potchefstroom in 2017, we live in Cape Town. How do you arrange auditions for students from other provinces ? Regards
We strongly recommend that students audition in person as it is the best way to evaluate them and determine their admission. So if students are within driving distance of Potchefstroom, we prefer that they come here for the audition. However, we will consider requests for alternative auditions, such as over Skype or per video recording.
We will also make an announcement soon about more audition opportunities and venues than just at the end of August in Potchefstroom.
