Abstract
The Peninsula Technikon and Cape Technikon merged at the beginning of 2005 and
became the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). The University
consists of six faculties, namely the faculty of: Applied Sciences, Business Studies,
Education, Engineering, Health and Wellness Sciences, and Informatics and Design.
The high failure rate in the undergraduate nursing course in the faculty of Health and
Wellness Science at CPUT, mooted this research due to the devastating impact
student failure has on society as a whole. The academic selection criteria and its
impact on throughput rates in particular as it pertains to undergraduate nurses
enrolled for the 4 year B.Tech qualification, will become the subject of research
scrutiny.
Descriptive research will be conducted in this dissertation, which will take place in
the social world, will be theoretical in nature using both phenomenological and
positivistic research paradigms. Case study research will serve as the research
method
