Entry Requirements for UP
To be able to gain access to the faculty and specific programmes prospective students require the appropriate combinations of recognized NSC subjects as well as certain levels of achievement in the said subjects.
Determining the Admission Point Score(APS)
The calculation is simple and based on a candidate’s achievement in six 20-credit recognised subjects by using the NSC ratings that is the “1 to 7 scale of achievement”. Thus, the highest APS that can be achieved is 42. Use the table below to calculate your APS or click here to use our web tool to determine your APS.
Life Orientation must be passed with a 4, but is excluded from the calculation determining the APS required for admission.

Additional admission information
- Mathematics 7 (80–100%) or 6 (70–79%) provided 7 (80–100%) is obtained in Physical Science.
-
Provisional admission to the Four Year Programme in the School of Engineering is only guaranteed if prospective students meet ALL the subject requirements. If they do not, prospective students must write the Institutional Proficiency Test. The results of the Institutional Proficiency Test, together with their National Senior Certificate results will determine whether prospective students qualify for admission to the Four or Five Year Programme (now called ENGAGE i.e. the Engineering Augmented Degree Programme).

ENGAGE study programme: BEng Industrial Engineering (12130011) - PDF
Industrial engineers are generally responsible for the analysis, design, planning, implementation, operation, management and maintenance of integrated systems. These systems consist of people, capital, material, equipment, information and energy. The aim is to increase the productivity of the organisation and creating wealth.
An engineering degree is very demanding. The workload is high, the pace is fast and the modules are academically challenging. Many students do not have a strong enough background in Mathematics and the Physical Sciences, academic literacy and information technology, and do not have the study skills to cope with the mainstream, fouryear programme. In addition, many students struggle with the transition to university life, with the very large firstyear classes, freedom from strict discipline, and many social activities, even if they attended high-performing schools.
That is why the School of Engineering offers a fiveyear programme, called the Engineering Augmented Degree Programme (ENGAGE). ENGAGE is available in all the engineering disciplines. ENGAGE provides a carefully structured curriculum that helps students adjust to university life and cope with the demands of engineering studies. In ENGAGE the volume of work is gradually increased and the support provided is gradually decreased over a period of three years. However, the workload – the time students must spend on their studies – is high from the very beginning. So ENGAGE is not for students who do not want to work!

Additional admission information
Admission to ENGAGE i.e. the Five Year Programme in the School of Engineering will be determined on the basis of faculty selection; the results of the compulsory Institutional Proficiency Test; the National Senior Certificate and achievement of 5 in Mathematics and 4 in Physical Science as well as a 4 in Afrikaans or English; and an APS of 25.
Please note that prospective students may apply directly for entry into the Five Year Programme (i.e. ENGAGE).
