Understanding UKZN's Academic Performance Score (APS) Calculation

If you're planning to apply to the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), understanding how your Academic Performance Score (APS) is calculated is crucial. This score plays a vital role in determining your eligibility for admission.

How UKZN Calculates APS

UKZN uses a straightforward point system where academic excellence is recognized by awarding points based on your NSC-Deg (National Senior Certificate-Degree) results. Here's how it works:

Point System Breakdown:

  • Level 7 (80-100%): 7 points
  • Level 6 (70-79%): 6 points
  • Level 5 (60-69%): 5 points
  • Level 4 (50-59%): 4 points
  • Level 3 (40-49%): 3 points
  • Level 2 (30-39%): 2 points
  • Level 1 (0-29%): 1 point

Important Notes:

  1. Life Orientation (LO) is not included in the APS calculation
  2. Mathematics Paper 3 is not considered a full subject
  3. No bonus points are awarded for additional subjects

 

How to Calculate Your APS

Your APS is calculated by adding the performance ratings of:

  • English (Home Language or First Additional Language)
  • Mathematics or Mathematics Literacy
  • Your best four other subjects (excluding LO)

Designated Subjects

UKZN recognizes a wide range of designated subjects, including:

  • Dramatic Arts, Music, and Visual Arts
  • Business and Consumer Studies
  • Life Sciences and Physical Sciences
  • Information Technology
  • Geography and History
  • Economics and Accounting
  • Various technology subjects (Engineering Graphics, Agricultural Technology, etc.)
  • Specialized fields like Maritime Economics and Equine Studies

APS Example Calculation

Using a real example from UKZN's guide:

  • Home Language: Level 5 = 5 points
  • First Additional Language: Level 6 = 6 points
  • Mathematics: Level 5 = 5 points
  • Accounting: Level 6 = 6 points
  • Business Studies: Level 6 = 6 points
  • Computer Applications Technology: Level 7 = 7 points

Total APS = 35 points

Remember that different programs have different APS requirements, so be sure to check the specific requirements for your chosen course of study.

This scoring system ensures a fair and transparent admission process, taking into account your overall academic performance across multiple subjects.
