University of Cape Town - UCT APS Calculator
The University of Cape Town uses a structured Admission Point Score system to assess undergraduate applicants. This APS calculator helps prospective students translate matric subject results into an entry score aligned with UCT’s selection criteria, making it easier to understand programme requirements and determine eligibility before applying.
Note: This calculator provides an estimate of your APS score. Official APS calculations may vary based on specific faculty requirements. At UCT, Life Orientation and Mathematical Literacy are typically calculated at half the value of other subjects (maximum 4 points instead of 7). Please verify with official UCT sources for exact admission requirements.
