🎓 VUT APS Calculator (Vaal University of Technology)

South Africa’s premier technology university. Use this calculator for VUT admissions.

⚙️ How VUT Calculates APS

• Uses your best 6 subjects

• Life Orientation excluded

• Raw score (max 42)

👉 This means your final score looks like: 27 instead of 270

📊 Why VUT Is Different

As a University of Technology:

• Diploma and Degree programs have different APS bands

• Maths Literacy is accepted but with restrictions

• Practical subjects (Engineering Graphics) are valued

🎯 Target Scores

• 30+ → Bachelor’s degrees (Engineering, Management)

• 27–29 → Mainstream Diplomas

• 24–26 → Extended Diplomas (foundation year)

• 22–23 → Higher Certificates

💡 Tip

Focus on improving:

• Pure Mathematics (mandatory for Engineering)

• Physical Sciences (for Science programs)

If you have Maths Literacy, you cannot apply for Engineering at VUT. Consider Humanities or Business instead.
