What are the minimum requirements to study for a bachelor’s degree at NWU?
• Obtain a National Senior Certificate (NSC) or Independent Examinations Board (IEB), issued by Umalusi, which also
indicates that you meet the requirements for a bachelor’s degree.
• An NSC with at least 50% in any four NSC 20 credit subjects.
• APS is calculated using six subjects, excluding Life Orientation.
• Subject-specific requirements per faculty which include the language of learning and teaching at 50%.
Meeting the minimum requirements doesn’t guarantee your admission to NWU!
What is an APS?
The higher your APS, the better chances of being accepted into the programme. The sum of a maximum of
six subjects, excluding Life Orientation, is used to determine your APS. See the example below.
• Use NWU’s APS calculator: http://studies.nwu.ac.za/studies/aps-calculator
Voorbeeld:
NSC Level APS
8 = 90-100% 8 Subject Percentage (%) APS
7 = 80-89% 7 Setswana 72% 6
6 = 70-79% 6 English 77% 6
5 = 60-69% 5 History 85% 7
4 = 50-59% 4 Mathematical Literacy 82% 7
3 = 40-49% 3 Life Sciences 69% 5
2 = 30-39% 2 Physical Sciences 76% 6
1 = 0-29% 1 Total: 37
Private or international school systems

If you attend(ed) a private or international school, you can use the conversion table that can be found on the NWU
website: https://www.nwu.ac.za/content/cambridge-admission-international-students
The Cambridge International curriculum is the most used international examination. The Cambridge IGCSE
qualification is equivalent to a South African Grade 11 and the Cambridge AS Levels is equivalent to a South African
Grade 12.
Depending on which level you complete on the Cambridge system, you’ll receive different scores.
• O/IGCSE levels get the lowest scores starting at 5.
• AS levels which are equivalent to the South African matric where an above 90% grade gets 8 and 80% and above gets 7, etc.
• A level which is equivalent to the first year at university gets the highest with a grade A scoring APS = 10.
• Calculate APS with six (6) subjects. Your APS is calculated using the highest level passed.
See the examples below.

Admission requirements
Please note the above admission requirements can change depending on selection and possible
faculty-specific requirements.
Study information is also subject to change, consider this a summary of the general fields of study. This
information was compiled for introduction and orientation purposes and North-West University accepts
no liability for inaccuracies that may occur in this guide. The official yearbook of the University must be
consulted in all cases during the process of compiling a programme for a specific field of study.
Download the yearbook here: https://studies.nwu.ac.za/studies/yearbooks
Owing to specific capacity constraints, the University reserves the right to select candidates for
admission to certain study fields. This means that prospective students who comply with the

final Grade 12 results.
