How does CPUT calculate APS?

CPUT uses percentage-based aps. CPUT usually works from your best 6 raw percentages and converts that total into its calculator scale instead of using a plain 42-point total. Life Orientation is usually excluded. Engineering and some Science programmes can double-weight Mathematics and Physical Sciences.

Does CPUT include Life Orientation in APS?

No. Life Orientation is usually excluded.

CPUT generally uses the standard APS calculation with your best 6 subjects excluding Life Orientation converted on the 1 to 7 scale. The maximum is 42. Because CPUT is a university of technology, the APS thresholds for many programmes are lower than at traditional research universities, but technical subject requirements still matter.

We do not guarantee admission based on our calculations. Requirements may change, and universities may consider additional criteria such as:

  • Portfolio submissions, interviews, or entrance tests
