How UFS scores you

Every university does this differently.

Partly checked

UFS AP score

UFS scores six academic subjects from 8 (90-100%) down to 2 (30-39%), and nothing below 30%. Life Orientation adds one point at 60% or more. For Medicine it is the four compulsory subjects plus your best two.

This score means nothing at another university – it can’t be compared with any other university’s.

What we couldn’t confirm
  • The 2027 document points to the AP scale "in the official UFS Prospectus". The only scale we could read is from the 2024 prospectus, so we assume it is unchanged. Other UFS faculties may count subjects differently.

Natural & Agricultural Sciences 17

BSc Agriculture (Animal Science, Plant Breeding, Plant Pathology)

Natural & Agricultural Sciences

UFS AP score 32 points out of 49

  • English: level 4 if it is your Home Language, level 4 if it is your First Additional Language
  • Mathematics: level 5 (60% or more)
  • Life Sciences: level 5 (60% or more)
  • Physical Sciences: level 5 (60% or more)

RAW-CONFIRMED and corrected against the 2027 Undergraduate Prospectus, replacing a 2022 faculty PDF: Life Sciences and Physical Sciences are both required at level 5 (60%), not "two of three" as previously shown. BSc Agricultural Economics is a genuinely separate, lower-bar stream (AP 30, English 4/50%, Mathematics 4/50%, no science requirement) - not shown as its own row, but the figures are now in hand.

Bachelor of Social Work

Humanities

UFS AP score 35 points out of 49

  • English: level 5 (60% or more)

CORRECTED 2026-10-03: the 2027 Undergraduate Prospectus publishes a numeric AP minimum of 35, which an earlier pass had concluded did not exist (UFS’s own Social Work admissions page describes AP 35+ as merely "more likely to be selected" among only the top 50 candidates, with no guarantee). Both are true at once - 35 is the published entry threshold; clearing it still does not guarantee a place, since selection among eligible applicants goes further. Closing date 31 July.

CORRECTED from the 2027 Undergraduate Prospectus: Mathematics is level 4 (50%), not level 5, and Life Sciences/Physical Sciences are not an equal either/or - Life Sciences sits at level 5 (60%), Physical Sciences at level 4 (50%). Selection-form closing date is 31 July.

What we couldn’t verify at UFS

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.

AP score formula

PARTLY RESOLVED. The 2027 MBChB selection rules confirm the structure (four compulsory subjects plus best two, 1 point for Life Orientation at level 5+) but defer to the prospectus for the point scale. The only scale we could read is in UFS’s 2024 prospectus (90-100% = 8, 80-89% = 7 ... 30-39% = 2, below 30% none), so we use it and flag it as coming from an older document. Confirm against the current UFS prospectus.

partially verified

15 more programmes across Law, Health Sciences, Humanities (incl. Music and Social Work), Education, Economic & Management Sciences and Natural & Agricultural Sciences

RESOLVES most of ufs-remainder above (UFS now has 16 programmes, not 1) - but every new row is [partially-verified]: all were found via web search surfacing UFS’s own rule books, selection policies and department pages, not a raw fetch (blocked in this environment). Several of the underlying documents are explicitly dated 2021-2023, not confirmed-current for 2027, and are additionally flagged [dated-document]. A second, more selective Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc, CA-track, Mathematics level 5) exists alongside the BCom (Accounting) shown here, but no AP figure for BAcc itself was found, so it is not shown as its own row. Confirmed (refining the general closing-date note already on ufs-remainder): Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy close 31 May, Dietetics and Social Work close 31 July. "Language of instruction" fields throughout mean UFS’s English/Afrikaans bilingual medium, not English specifically, and are shown via manual() rather than engLvl/engPct for that reason. FOLLOW-UP 2026-10-01: Bachelor of Social Work was reconfirmed, this time by a direct fetch of UFS’s own admissions page rather than search-synthesis - it genuinely has no numeric AP cut-off (35+ is "more likely to be selected", and only the top 50 candidates are chosen), so this is a confirmed non-disclosure, not an open research gap; still shown with min_aps: null and flagged [no-cutoff-published]. Occupational Therapy’s Mathematics/Physical Science minimums (level 4 / 50% each) were found via web search surfacing the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences’ own 2025 rule book and added to the programme - previously only its language requirement was known.
