Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee you a place to study. Competition for most of our degrees is high and demand for places generally exceeds the number of places available. Final selection is made subject to the availability of places, academic results and other entry requirements where applicable. CLICK HERE FOR GENERAL ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

The Council, with the approval of the Senate of this University, may determine minimum criteria for students to continue with their studies. Such criteria may differ from faculty to faculty and from academic department to academic department in accordance with the demands of specific programmes. Unless Council, with the approval of Senate, specifically decides otherwise, the approved faculty rules for particular degrees, diplomas or certificates with regard to renewal of registration, shall apply (see the Faculty Calendars or the University website for more information). Faculties are authorised by Council to take final decisions regarding re- admissions. Senate will oversee the management of re-admissions by faculties on behalf of Council and shall peruse re-admission reports from faculties on an annual basis.
For admission to degree and diploma programmes UWC uses a weighted system for calculating points. In order to be admitted to degree studies the candidate should have attained a minimum number of points. Please refer to each faculty’s admission requirements, available here, to determine the number of points required for the desired programme.
In addition to point score requirements mentioned above, specific programme admission requirements are also listed. These additional criteria must be met to qualify for admission to particular study programmes.
Note: The table below indicates how points are allocated.
NSC LEVELS | UWC POINTS | ||||
Level | Percentage | Points for English | Points for Maths or Maths lit | Points for Life Orientation | Points for each other subject |
8 | 90-100% | 15 | 15 | 3 | 8 |
7 | 80-89% | 13 | 13 | 3 | 7 |
6 | 70-79% | 11 | 11 | 2 | 6 |
5 | 60-69% | 9 | 9 | 2 | 5 |
4 | 50-59% | 7 | 7 | 2 | 4 |
3 | 40-49% | 5 | 5 | 1 | 3 |
2 | 30-39% | 3 | 3 | 1 | 2 |
1 | 20-29% | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
less than 20% | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Please note that the number of applicants usually far exceeds the number of spaces available in various programmes. As a result offers are based on merit and availability of space, not all applicants who meet the minimum admission requirements for their programme/s of choice, can be made an offer to study. Make sure you have applied to more that one institution and type of tertiary education institution.
