Sanlam student loans: Everything you ought to know before applying

UKZN undergraduate applicants should meet the following minimum academic qualifications/requirements:

• Score at least 40% for Home Language
• Score at least 50% for FOUR other subjects, excluding Life Orientation
• Score at least 30% for ONE other subject
• Score at least 30% in the Language of Learning and Teaching (LOLT) of the Higher Education Institution where you intend to study
• Pass at least 6 out of 7 subjects

UKZN selection is based on academic ranking. The maximum APS obtainable is 48, while the minimum UKZN admission APS depends on the course. Therefore, selection starts from 48 downward and stops when all the available slots in a program are filled.

As a result, meeting the minimum UKZN APS score for your selected course does not guarantee a place at the university. The school often receives more applications than it can accommodate, and places in a program may be filled before the published score is reached. So, aim for a score above the minimum APS scores published by the institute.
