🎓 UWC APS Calculator (University of the Western Cape)

Known for diversity and health sciences excellence. Use this calculator for UWC admissions.

⚙️ How UWC Calculates APS

• Uses your best 6 subjects

• Life Orientation excluded

• Raw score (max 42)

👉 This means your final score looks like: 30 instead of 300

📊 Why UWC Is Different

UWC has program-specific floors:

• Health Sciences require the highest APS

• Humanities and Law have moderate requirements

• Extended programs available for lower APS

🎯 Target Scores

• 35+ → Physiotherapy, Dentistry, Medicine

• 32–34 → Nursing, Pharmacy, Law (LLB)

• 30–31 → BSc, Accounting, IT

• 27–29 → BA, Social Work, Education

• 24–26 → Extended programs

💡 Tip

Focus on improving:

• Life Sciences (for Health programs)

• Mathematics or Maths Literacy (depends on faculty)

UWC’s Nursing program (APS 30) is less competitive than Medicine (APS 35+) but still excellent.
