On this page, we have compiled a list of most of UJ’s courses according to their APS score levels. You will find three categories, which are Low APS Score Courses, Mid APS Scores, and Higher APS Score Courses.
We have decided to save you time by categorising the courses, so that you can easily have a quick glance and compare APS scores faster, in stead of downloading the prospectus and go through each course.
Important: All courses with Low APS Requirements are constantly in high demand, which makes entry into those courses a very difficult task. For a popular university in Johannesburg, such as UJ, students should aim for those courses that require higher APS Score. Unpopular choice right?
