🎓 Sol Plaatje University APS Calculator (SPU)

The newest university in South Africa (founded 2014). Use this calculator for SPU admissions.

⚙️ How SPU Calculates APS

• Uses your best 6 subjects

• Life Orientation excluded

• Raw score (max 42)

👉 This means your final score looks like: 26 instead of 260

📊 Why SPU Is Different

As a new university:

• Entry requirements are generally lower

• Limited program choices (focus on Humanities, Data Science, Education)

• Small student intake means early application is critical

🎯 Target Scores

• 30–32 → Data Science, BSc Information Technology

• 28–29 → Bachelor of Education, Economics

• 26–27 → BA Humanities, Heritage Studies

• 24–25 → Diploma programs

💡 Tip

Focus on improving:

• Mathematics (for Data Science)

• English (for all programs)

SPU does not offer Medicine, Engineering, or Law. Apply early – spaces fill quickly despite the low APS.
