not meet the criteria for Bachelor&#8217;s degrees. When students receive a Higher Certificate pass in the Matric exams, it does not mean an end to university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme helps to introduce students to the core principles of business operations. The HCM include areas such as marketing, finance, and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Human_resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">human resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students should view these programmes as a way to build on their academic foundation. This will help prepare them for the demands of a full degree programme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Regenesys, the HCBM March intake is offered by our Business School. It is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/what-is-nqf-level-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NQF Level 5<\/a> degree that now includes AI modules within the existing curriculum.

At other times, students may wish to take a short break before beginning their studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The March intake, offered by a select few institutions, allows students to begin their studies in the same year as their classmates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/higher-certificate-in-business-management-2026-applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Higher Certificate in Business Management 2026 Applications<\/a> here<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_Apply_for_the_March_Intake\"><\/span>Who Should Apply for the March Intake?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The March intake is designed for students who require an additional opportunity to begin their studies.
