Nelson Mandela University Admission Entry Requirements

How to calculate your Applicant Score (AS)

First, look up the Applicant Score (AS) for the qualification you are applying for – also note any required subjects.
Your Applicant Score (AS) will be different if you took Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy or Technical Mathematics at school.
Your Applicant Score (AS) is calculated using six subjects. Please note that Life Orientation (LO) is excluded.
Write down your Grade 12 subjects and the most recent percentage (%) obtained in each subject (NO Gr 12 March results).
You MUST include the results for the following three fundamental subjects:

1) Home language;

2) 1st Add. Language;

and 3) Maths; or Maths Lit; or Technical Maths.

For applicants with seven Grade 12 NSC/IEB subjects, their AS is calculated by adding the percentages for their six 20-credit subjects (Note that the Life Orientation percentage is not included as it is a 10-credit subject). This gives a score out of 600.
For those applicants taking eight or more subjects, their AS is calculated as follows: add the percentages obtained for the three fundamental subjects (the two languages and Mathematics, Technical Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy), plus the percentage(s) for any subject(s) required by the programme, together with the percentage(s) for the next best / highest subject(s), to a maximum of six subjects.
In addition, for those applicants from quintile 1 to 3 schools who attain 50% or higher for Life
Orientation, 7 additional points are added to their score out of 600 to arrive at their final AS.
Compare your AS & subject results to the minimum needed for the qualification you want to
apply for.
If your Applicant Score (AS) & subject results are below the minimum required, you will need to consider another qualification for which you do qualify.
All South African public ordinary schools are categorised into five groups: quintiles. Quintile 3 is a non-fee-paying school, while Quintiles 4 & 5 are fee-paying schools.
