How UWC scores you

Every university does this differently.

Checked against the official source

UWC weighted points

UWC weights English and Mathematics most: they score 1, 3, 5 ... 15 from level 1 to 8. Your additional language, Mathematical Literacy and each of your three best other subjects score the level itself (1-8). Life Orientation adds 0-3.

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

What we couldn’t confirm
  • CONFLICT: UWC’s application-information page puts Mathematical Literacy in the same high-points column as Mathematics, but UWC’s own calculator says it "no longer" does and scores it as an ordinary subject. We follow the calculator.
  • CONFLICT (small): for Life Orientation at level 1 (20-29%) UWC’s table says 1 point and its calculator gives 0. We follow the calculator.

What we couldn’t verify at UWC

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.

Weighted points conversion table

RESOLVED except two conflicts. The scoring rule was read from UWC’s own official APS calculator code: English and Mathematics score 1,3,5...15 from level 1 to 8; the additional language, Mathematical Literacy and other subjects score the level (1-8); Life Orientation 0-3; total = English + additional language + Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy + Life Orientation + 3 best others (maximum 65). CONFLICT 1: UWC’s application-information page puts Mathematical Literacy in the same high-points column as Mathematics, but its calculator says it no longer does. We follow the calculator. CONFLICT 2: for Life Orientation at 20-29% the table says 1 point and the calculator gives 0. We follow the calculator.

15 new programmes across Natural Sciences, EMS, Arts & Humanities, Education, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing and Social Work (17 total with the 2 from the earlier pass)

RESOLVED the full-gap faculties named in uwc-faculties above, to the same "search-synthesis" confidence tier as the LLB/BCom Law pass: every figure was found via web search surfacing UWC’s own programme pages and PDFs (uwc.ac.za), not a raw fetch of the full page (this environment’s network egress still blocks direct fetches to university domains), so every new row is flagged [partially-verified][unverified]. Two genuine conflicts found and shown rather than hidden: Bachelor of Nursing’s Mathematics/Mathematical Literacy requirement differs between two official UWC sources (level 3/4 vs level 4/6 plus Life Sciences); and BSc Computer Science’s own PDF is titled a "4 YR" version with a second programme code (3221) also in use, so its duration is left null rather than guessed. BCom (General)’s duration is also left null for the same reason (the page title says "(4 Year)" but we could not confirm this is the standard duration rather than an extended curriculum). BSc Mathematics & Statistical Sciences was deliberately left out: the only figure found (Mathematics level 3) looked implausibly low for a Mathematics major and may be the general-faculty floor rather than a programme-specific minimum - worth a direct re-read before publishing. Natural Sciences (Chemical Sciences, Physical Science, Environmental & Water Science, Biodiversity & Conservation Biology), Pharmacy, Dentistry (BDS) and Nursing durations are mostly left null where the source did not state them plainly.

User-supplied 2027 General Admissions Criteria brochure

The user found uwc.ac.za’s own 2027 General Admissions Criteria brochure (SEMU-8-Panel-Print-Admissions-2027.pdf) via a third-party prospectus aggregator (universityqualifications.co.za) - the aggregator itself was not used as a source, only as a pointer to go find UWC’s own document directly. This is a recruitment poster/infographic, not a full per-programme APS table like UCT’s prospectus, so most of UWC’s 17 rows couldn’t be cross-checked against it. What it did resolve: Bachelor of Nursing’s APS/subject conflict (see uwc-points-table) - this is a third independent UWC source and it confirms the lower figure already shown (30 points, English 4/5, Maths 3 or Maths Lit 4, another language 4), not the higher one. It also independently confirms "Maths Code 4" for BSc Mathematics & Statistical Sciences, resolving the doubt raised in uwc-pass-2 (where a found figure of "Mathematics level 3" looked implausibly low for a Maths major and was deliberately left out) - level 4 is correct, but no APS/points figure or other subject requirements were found for this programme in this pass, so it still isn’t added as its own row. Two more programmes with partial figures spotted but not added for the same reason (no APS number): Bachelor of Science in Dietetics (Physical Sciences AND Life Sciences both level 4) and Bachelor of Library and Information Studies (Maths level 4 and Accounting level 5, unless Maths is level 5).

UWC: 2026 programme rules read for every undergraduate programme with a career fit - 12 new rows, 16 rewritten, only the two Law rows still partial

The UWC website programme pages show curricula but no entry figures; the admission rules sit in each programme’s "Program Overview" PDF (Calendar 2026), which is downloadable from ap.uwc.ac.za with a normal browser user-agent. Read for Natural Sciences, Economic & Management Sciences, Arts & Humanities, Community & Health Sciences, Education and Dentistry. Corrections: Bachelor of Social Work is APS 34 (we had 30); the "4-year SAICA" BCom Accounting row carried the 3-year degree’s requirements - the 4-year extended curriculum is English 3, Mathematics 3, Accounting 4 (not needed with Mathematics 4) and a 3-year BCom Accounting row was added (Accounting level 5 unless Mathematics is 5); the 3-year BSc Computer Science needs Mathematics level 5 (4-year extended: APS 27); most BSc degrees are APS 33 with Mathematics 4 and Physical or Life Sciences 4; the 4-year extended BSc versions are APS 27. Added Biotechnology, Applied Geology, Medical Bioscience, Mathematics & Statistical Sciences, Financial Accounting, Administration, Sport & Exercise Science, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics, Oral Health and BA (Law). Still partial: LLB and BCom (Law) - their pages gave no downloadable overview. The 2020 Science Calendar PDF that earlier rows cited was replaced by the 2026 rules (figures unchanged for Physical Science).
