Admission Requirements (APS)

WSU uses the Admission Point Score (APS) system, alongside specific subject requirements, to determine eligibility.

How WSU Calculates APS

WSU calculates the APS based on a total of six or seven subjects, using the following point system (where a Level 7, 80-100%, is 8 points):

  • English: The point score for English (as the language of instruction).
  • Second Language: The point score for another official language.
  • Four Best Subjects (Excluding LO): The point scores from your four best-performing subjects (excluding Life Orientation).
  • Life Orientation (LO): Only included in the APS calculation for the Faculty of Education (making a total of seven subjects).

You must use the official WSU APS conversion table found on their prospectus, as they use an 8-point scale for the highest level (90-100%).
