Admission Requirements for 2027<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be considered for undergraduate study at Wits in 2027, you must have a National Senior Certificate (NSC) with a bachelor\u2019s degree pass from the South African Department of Basic Education or an equivalent qualification recognised by Wits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applicants must meet certain achievement levels to be eligible for first-year study, and some programmes have additional entry requirements beyond the basic university entrance criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wits selects students based on space availability, academic results, and additional selection processes where applicable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some degrees require portfolios, essays, or tests such as the National Benchmark Tests (NBTs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minimum Points Needed for Different Faculties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wits University uses an Admission Point Score (APS) system to assess applicants based on school achievement levels and subject combinations required for specific programmes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The APS is calculated from your NSC final subject results.\u00a0The exact APS minimum varies by faculty and qualification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive programmes such as engineering, commerce, and health sciences typically require higher APS scores and specific subject combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, programmes in:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Engineering and the Built Environment often require strong Mathematics and Physical Sciences results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Commerce, Law and Management require good Mathematics and English levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Health Sciences usually demand higher academic performance and specific science subjects.
    Check the official Wits prospectus once released to see the exact APS requirements for 2027.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Compulsory Subjects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For most Wits undergraduate programmes, English is compulsory and must be passed at the level specified for your chosen degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many competitive fields also require Mathematics, Physical Sciences, or other subject combinations as compulsory for entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wits calculates APS using your best seven subjects, including Life Orientation, and faculty-specific subject requirements must be met as stated in the prospectus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Always consult the official prospectus for precise compulsory subject requirements for your chosen programme before applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Calculate Your 2027 APS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To calculate your APS for Wits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Convert your final NSC subject achievement levels into the APS point equivalents used by Wits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Use your best seven subjects, including compulsory ones required for your chosen programme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Add the subject points to get your APS total.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The APS must meet or exceed the programme\u2019s minimum threshold to be considered for selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
