Applicants to programmes are ranked according to APS, and selection is done from the top down until the number of places available in the specific programme is filled. Competition for places is high, and applicants not meeting the APS for a specific programme are unlikely to be considered.

In addition, subject requirements and minimum performance levels in specific subjects are set for admission to UKZN programmes. Applicants who did not include the correct subjects in their NSC-Deg or who did not obtain the required level of performance in specific subjects required for admission to a program will not be considered.
