How UP calculates APS
UP uses the standard Admission Point Score: your best 6 subjects (Life Orientation excluded) summed on the DBE 1-7 scale, maximum 42. There are no bonus points.
- Take your best 6 subjects, excluding Life Orientation.
- Convert each on the DBE 1-7 scale (80-100% = 7, down to 0-29% = 1).
- Sum the 6 values for an APS out of 42.
- Programmes set their own minimum APS plus subject requirements.
Method verified against University of Pretoria Admission Requirements and APS (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.
