NMU 2027 application windows
Verified 22 July 2026 against NMU Application Closing Dates (2027 intake).
Always confirm before you rely on a date
Universities change closing dates, and many close applications early once a programme is full. Some also stop taking applications for individual programmes while the general window is still open. Treat every date here as a prompt to check the official portal, not as a guarantee that you still have time.
Know your NMU score before you apply
NMU uses the Applicant Score (AS), not an APS. It is the sum of the raw percentages of six 20-credit subjects, out of 600. Life Orientation is excluded because it is a 10-credit subject, but it can earn a +7 equity bonus.
