UKZN Pharmacy Application for Admission
The University has introduced an online application system, however if you have studied at UKZN previously you will already have a student number and need not use the online system. People new to UKZN must use the system as it generates a unique student number for them but they must also submit all their documentation online as well as sending a hard copy to the Post Grad office (details to follow).
