Admission Requirements for 2027
To study at UFH in 2027, you must meet the set entry requirements for your chosen qualification.
For undergraduate degrees, you need a National Senior Certificate (NSC) with appropriate subject levels. UFH normally expects:
- An achievement rating of 4 (50–59%) or higher in English Home Language or First Additional Language.
- An achievement rating of 4 (50–59%) or higher in four recognised subjects.
- An achievement rating of 2 (30–39%) or higher in one additional subject.
- Life Orientation may have its own requirements depending on the programme.
These are the general guidelines for entry into bachelor’s programmes, but some qualifications require higher scores or specific subject combinations. Faculties often have their own criteria.
Minimum Points Needed for Different Faculties
UFH uses the Admission Point Score (APS) system to check eligibility. Your APS is calculated from your NSC marks.
The minimum APS score often starts around 26 points for general degrees, but it will vary by faculty and programme. For example:
- Law degrees may require around 30 points or more.
- Extended programmes may need around 27 points.
- Bachelor of Commerce and others can require APS in the high 20s.
Many faculties have specific requirements above the minimum. Always check the official prospectus for your programme details.
Compulsory Subjects
For most undergraduate degrees, UFH expects the following subjects to be part of your NSC:
- English Home Language or English First Additional Language
- Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy, depending on the programme
- Life Orientation
- Other subjects relevant to your chosen field
Important subjects like Mathematics, Physical Science, or Accounting may be compulsory for some faculties. The prospectus lists these subject requirements in full.
How to Calculate Your 2027 APS
The APS score is a number based on your NSC subject grades.
Each subject is given points depending on your achievement level (for example, Level 7 = 7 points, Level 4 = 4 points).
The total is your APS. Universities often count your best seven subjects, with Life Orientation capped at a lower value.
To calculate your APS correctly, add up the points for your subjects following UFH’s system.
2027 Application Opening and Closing Dates
The University of Fort Hare usually opens undergraduate applications in May each year and closes them in October for the following academic year.
The specific dates for 2027 are likely to follow this pattern.
It is important to apply early and meet deadlines to avoid late application fees or missing your faculty’s closing date.
Funding & Bursaries
UFH students may access funding and bursary opportunities to support their studies.
Examples of financial aid include the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) for eligible South African students with income‑based eligibility.
Other bursaries and funding schemes may be available depending on your study field and home province.
The UFH prospectus and financial aid office provide guidance and application details for bursaries.
