How UKZN calculates APS
UKZN scores your best 6 subjects (Life Orientation excluded) on a 1-8 scale, maximum 48. Where 90-100% = 8, then 7/6/5/4/3/2/1 down the bands.
- Take your best 6 subjects, excluding Life Orientation.
- Convert each on the 1-8 scale (90-100% = 8, 80-89% = 7, down to 0-29% = 1).
- Sum the 6 values for a points total out of 48.
- School quintile is also weighed during selection - it is NOT folded into this number.
Method verified against UKZN Undergraduate Application Information and Points System (2026 intake).
Minimum APS by faculty
Faculty and programme minimums are being verified per faculty from official prospectuses and will land in a later stage. Meeting a minimum never guarantees admission - programmes are competitive and use additional criteria.
