How UMP scores you

Every university does this differently.

Checked against the official source

UMP APS

UMP sums your best six subjects (four the programme requires plus your best three electives) on the standard NSC level scale (1-7), then adds Life Orientation at HALF its level rather than excluding it - confirmed word-for-word from UMP’s own Undergraduate Programmes PDF: "The prescribed seven subjects are the subjects to be used in calculating the APS. The APS achievement rating of Life Orientation is divided by two."

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

What we couldn’t verify at UMP

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.

partially verified

2 programmes confirmed (BCom, BEd Foundation Phase); LLB, BA General and 2 Diplomas found but not independently fetched

BCom and BEd Foundation Phase were confirmed by direct fetch of their own official pages. An APS mechanism (seven subjects, Life Orientation points halved rather than excluded - distinctive if true) was found only via search-result synthesis, not pinned to one official page we fetched ourselves, so UMP_APS is non-computable and this claim is not otherwise published. Four more programmes (LLB, BA General, Diploma in Entrepreneurship, Diploma in ICT) were located with candidate URLs but not independently fetched, so deliberately left out - that fetch-and-confirm pass is the next step. UMP’s consolidated programmes PDF could not be extracted (binary/stream data only). No 2027 closing date confirmed on ump.ac.za (only unverified third-party claims).

partially verified

UMP: all rows re-read against the Undergraduate Programmes PDF; closing date confirmed on the live page

UMP’s faculty pages list programmes but no entry figures; the figures are in the Undergraduate Programmes PDF still linked from the 2027 online-applications page. That file is dated October 2023, so all 17 UMP rows are now flagged dated-document rather than partially verified. Added Diploma in Agriculture (Plant Production, APS 23) and Diploma in ICT (Applications Development, APS 24). The live page confirms 2027 applications open 1 June and close 30 November 2026 (fee R200, SADC R400, other international R550); postgraduate closes 30 January 2027.
