How To Apply Online At UJ As New Applicants 2025-2026

To apply online at UJ as a new applicant, please click HERE to consult the Undergraduate Prospectus to ensure you meet the minimum entrance requirements before applying.

Applicants may only apply for two study choices per academic year. These study choices may not be amended once they have been chosen.
The University of Johannesburg does simultaneous admissions. Therefore, should an applicant qualify for both choices, the applicant may be admitted/provisionally selected for both choices. In cases where an applicant has been admitted for both choices, it is up to the applicant to decide for which qualification they want to register. The choice not registered will then be automatically cancelled/declined.
In the case of applicants re-writing Grade 12 subjects, applications will be processed on the current results available. If Grade 12 has been written more than once then your combined results must be submitted with your application.
Applicants writing the National Senior Certificate (NSC) through IEB or SACAI examining bodies can apply online by selecting “National Senior Certificate” under the Results Detail page of the online application process.
Applicants currently in Grade 12 may be requested to provide certified copies of final Grade 11 results for verification and auditing purposes.
The University of Johannesburg will not accept the American General Education Development (GED) test for entry into its undergraduate curricular qualifications. Applicants who completed the American GED and would like to study towards an undergraduate curricular qualification at UJ must achieve a grade 12 NSC/IEB/SACAI or international equivalent.
The National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) are not part of UJ admissions requirements and applicants are not required to write the NBTs to apply for or gain admission to UJ. Applicants may, however, be requested to write the NBTs in exceptional circumstances where the applicant has an extraordinary school leaving certificate.
