General requirements

In order to register for a first bachelor’s degree at the University, a candidate should have completed the National Senior Certificate (NSC) or equivalent qualification, and meet the minimum requirements for admission to bachelor’s degree study.

Candidates must also comply with the particular subject and level requirement as well as with the minimum Admission Point Score (APS) for the relevant programme.

The APS calculation is based on a candidate’s achievement in six 20-credit NSC-recognised subjects with bands 1 to 7, indicating the scale of achievement. Thus, the highest APS that can be achieved is 42.

Please note that Life Orientation is a 10-credit subject and is excluded from the calculation when determining the APS.

Grade 11 results are used in the conditional admission of prospective students.

The final Grade 12 results will be the determining factor with regard to final admission.
