In Tshwane University of Technology you first have to a diploma in Building Sciences for 3 years. The requirements are level 4 in both maths and Physical Sciences and 5 in English. It is a 3 year course then after that you'll chose to either to an advanced diploma in Quantity surveying or Construction Management. BTech was phased out so now it's advanced diploma for one year after your diploma
For UFS, also offeres Distance Learning (Part Time Studies) for QS maybe that minimum age and emoloyment applies to that. Their full-time BSc is not 4 years but three years minimun followed by BSc Honours for 1 year
As someone doing the UCT QS honours course I would not recommend applying to UCT. 80% of honours students do not pass Management accounting which is an entire year subject and or fail STA1000F twice and have to add another year onto their studies. Out of 20 honours students last year there are only 3 that i know of who graduated in March. The rest are redoing Management accounting with the new group of QS hons students like myself who will most likely be adding another year. I recommend you apply to Wits as its the same qualification with the same accreditation
For those students who do not qualify for a BSC in construction studies or Quantity surveying. You can do your National Diploma in Building Science(3years) at Walter Sisulu University. Requirements - level 4 in Maths, Physical Science or Accounting and for the Extended program a level 3 in Maths and Physics is accepted (4years). However you will have to apply to other Institutions for your Advance Diploma in QS or Construction Management.
Lol you left out a few. Among them is the Durban University of Technology, they offer a Bachelor of Built Environment in Construction Studies and a Bachelor of Built Environment Honours in Quantity Surveying. 3 years and 1 year respectively. They have been trying to make the route to quantity surveying uniform lately. Another thing worth touching on could be how professional registration works, hopefully the SAcqsp updates the accredited courses soon and how that affects registration.
Central University of Technology also has Bachelor of Construction in Quantity Surveying APS 28-32 It also has an extended programme if you don't qualify for the mainstream
You forgot to include Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), they offer a new qualification: Advanced Diploma in Quantity Surveying (Old qualification was a BTech)
Mangosuthu University of Technology in Durban,Mlazi Township,it offers Diploma in Construction Management and Quantity Surveying,i am studying there Can i have your contacts in case i have an enquiry about anything pertaining Construction industry as a whole.

Please kindly explain or distinguish between construction management sciences and construction management studies
They are the same , at my university we had Construction Studies while another University called it building science
Is there a university ranking system in South Africa? Interested to see if that's just the UK or if it's worldwide...
Yes , there are multiple university ranking systems in South Africa so it’s not just the UK.
You forgot Central University of Technology which is situated in Bloemfontein
Thank you
don't forget Walter Sisulu University
