Admission Requirements

To successfully apply to the University of Johannesburg (UJ) for the 2026 academic year, applicants need to meet specific requirements based on the level of study (undergraduate or postgraduate). Below is an overview of the general admission criteria for both categories:

1. General Admission Requirements for Undergraduate Applicants

a. Matriculation (Grade 12) Requirements:

To apply for an undergraduate program at UJ, applicants must have completed their Matriculation (Grade 12) or equivalent secondary school qualification.

Matric Results: Applicants must submit their final or mid-year results to UJ. A valid Matric certificate or proof of results is required during the application process.

b. Minimum Academic Performance:

UJ assesses applicants based on their Admission Point Score (APS), which is calculated from the results of their Grade 12 subjects.

Minimum APS Requirements:

Most undergraduate programs require a minimum APS of 24-30 points for admission.

For more competitive courses, such as those in Engineering, Health Sciences, and Architecture, a higher APS (around 30+) may be required. Specific programs may also have higher subject requirements.

c. APS Calculation:

UJ calculates your APS by adding the points of your best four subjects (excluding Life Orientation). Each subject is awarded points based on the following scale:

80-100% (7 points)

70-79% (6 points)

60-69% (5 points)

50-59% (4 points)

40-49% (3 points)

30-39% (2 points)

0-29% (1 point)

d. Specific Subject Requirements for Competitive Programs:

Certain programs may have specific subject prerequisites or recommendations. For example:

Health Sciences: Biology and Physical Science are often required for programs like Medicine, Nursing, and Medical Technology.

Architecture and Design: A portfolio may be required in addition to specific high school subjects such as Mathematics and Physical Science.

Education Programs: Depending on the specialization, subject proficiency in areas such as Languages, Mathematics, or Social Sciences may be essential.

2. Additional Requirements for Postgraduate Applications

For those applying for postgraduate programs (such as Master's and PhD degrees), the requirements differ from undergraduate applications:

a. Relevant Undergraduate Degree:

Applicants must hold an undergraduate degree (or equivalent qualification) relevant to the postgraduate program they are applying for.

A minimum final average of 60% in your undergraduate studies is often required for admission to a Master's program, though this may vary depending on the program and faculty.

b. Research Proposal (for Research-Based Programs):

For research-based postgraduate programs (e.g., Master's by dissertation or PhD), applicants must submit a research proposal outlining their intended area of study. This proposal must align with the faculty's research interests and be approved by a relevant supervisor.

c. Portfolio (for Creative Programs):

Some programs, especially in the Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture, may require a portfolio as part of the application. This portfolio demonstrates the applicant's creative abilities and suitability for the program.

d. Additional Documentation:

Postgraduate applicants must submit their undergraduate transcripts, proof of degree completion, and any other relevant qualifications.

Some programs may require interviews or entrance exams (e.g., for Master’s in Clinical Psychology or for certain professional degrees).

e. Specific Program Requirements:

Certain postgraduate programs may have additional specific requirements, such as practical work experience or a minimum number of years in the field for professional programs like MBA or M.Ed.

Important Notes:

All prospective students should check the specific entry requirements for their program of interest on the UJ website or in the program’s prospectus, as some courses may have unique requirements (e.g., entrance exams, portfolios, or supplementary forms).

It is crucial to meet both the academic and specific subject prerequisites to ensure a successful application.

By adhering to these requirements and preparing thoroughly, applicants can maximize their chances of being admitted to UJ for the 2026 academic year.

International students must fulfill certain criteria in addition to the general admission requirements. Here are the key steps:

a. Academic Documents:

Certified Copies of Qualifications:

International applicants need to submit certified copies of their academic transcripts and certificates (translated into English if necessary). These documents should be evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) to ensure they meet South Africa’s educational standards.

Some programs may require a medical examination.

2. Study Visa Process

After receiving an offer of admission from UJ, international students must apply for a study visa to study in South Africa. Here’s an overview of the process:

Application Tips & Common Mistakes to Avoid

Submitting a strong and error-free application is crucial to securing your place at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) for the 2026 academic year. Here are some tips to help you submit your best application, as well as common mistakes you should avoid during the application process.

Tips for Submitting a Strong Application

1. Start Early and Stay Organized

Begin your application early to give yourself plenty of time to gather the required documents and complete each step of the process without rushing. Starting early will also allow you to troubleshoot any issues that may arise, such as delays in document submission or payment.

2. Research Program Requirements Thoroughly

Ensure you understand the specific admission requirements for your desired program. Review the required subjects and minimum APS scores for your chosen course to avoid applying for programs you do not qualify for.

Check for specific program prerequisites such as portfolios, tests, or work experience for certain courses (e.g., Art, Design, or Business Management).

3. Tailor Your Application to Your Chosen Program

Make sure you select the correct program and faculty when completing the application form. Avoid submitting multiple applications for different programs unless advised to do so by UJ.

4. Upload All Required Documents

Ensure that all necessary documents (ID, Matric certificate, proof of payment, etc.) are clearly scanned and legible.

Double-check that you’ve uploaded official documents (certified copies) rather than informal versions. If you’re unsure, refer to the UJ website for the exact document requirements.

5. Proof of Payment

Pay the application fee as soon as possible and keep the proof of payment to upload in the application portal. Not paying the fee or failing to upload the proof can delay your application or result in rejection.

6. Submit an Accurate and Complete Application

Complete all sections of the application form fully and double-check for accuracy. Incomplete or inaccurate information can result in delays or rejection.

If you’re applying as an international student, be sure to provide correct details for documents like your passport, study visa, and academic history.

7. Follow Up and Track Your Application

After submitting your application, keep a close eye on any communication from UJ. You will receive an email confirming your application, and UJ may send additional instructions or requests for documents. Be sure to check your email regularly for any updates.

Common Errors Applicants Should Avoid

1. Missing Documents

One of the most common mistakes applicants make is failing to upload all required documents. If any documents are missing, UJ may not consider your application or may delay the process until the missing documents are received.

Tip: Create a checklist of all required documents and verify that each one is uploaded before submitting.

2. Incorrect or Illegible Documents

Scanned documents should be clear, legible, and not blurry. Submitting low-quality scans of your documents (such as your ID or Matric certificate) can result in delays.

Tip: Ensure your documents are scanned in high resolution and check that all text is clearly visible.

3. Failing to Meet the Minimum Requirements

If you do not meet the minimum APS score or the specific subject requirements for your chosen program, your application may be rejected. It’s crucial to verify that you meet the entry criteria before applying.

Tip: If you're uncertain about your eligibility, consult the UJ website or contact the admissions office for advice.

4. Missing the Application Deadline

Late applications will not be considered, so it’s important to apply before the deadline. Missing the deadline, especially for postgraduate or specialized programs, can mean waiting another year to apply.

Tip: Check the UJ website regularly for updates on deadlines and set reminders for key dates to avoid missing them.

5. Not Paying the Application Fee

The application fee is non-refundable, and failure to pay or upload proof of payment can lead to your application being incomplete and rejected.

Tip: Pay the application fee early and keep the proof of payment ready to upload.

6. Not Following the Instructions

Ensure that you follow the application instructions carefully, including the correct formatting for documents and the proper submission of materials.

Tip: Review the UJ application guidelines to ensure you have followed each step correctly.

Importance of Double-Checking Documents Before Submission

Before hitting the "Submit" button, take the time to carefully review all documents and information provided. Here’s why double-checking is essential:

1. Ensure Accuracy and Completeness:

Verify that all fields in your application are completed, and you’ve uploaded the correct documents. For example, confirm that your Matric results are uploaded as a certified copy and not as an unofficial one.

2. Avoid Mistakes That Could Delay Your Application:

Small errors like incorrect contact information, misspelled names, or missing subjects can delay your application processing or prevent you from being accepted.

3. Make Sure Your Documents Are Legible:

Recheck your document scans to ensure they are clear and easy to read. This includes verifying that all text on your ID, Matric certificate, and proof of payment is legible.

4. Correct Program Details:

Ensure that you’ve selected the correct course and faculty. It’s also important to check that you’ve entered the correct application number or student number where needed.

5. Confirm Payment of the Application Fee:

Confirm that the payment has been processed and that the proof of payment is included in your application submission.

By carefully reviewing your application and avoiding common mistakes, you can ensure that your application is processed smoothly and you increase your chances of securing a place at UJ. Good luck with your application for the 2026 academic year!
