How to apply to UMP

  1. 1

    Choose your programme and check the APS

    Use the Requirements tab to see the minimum APS and subjects for the UMP programme you want, then confirm you meet them.

  2. 2

    Gather your documents

    A certified copy of your ID, your latest school results (Grade 11 final or Grade 12 mid-year), and proof of payment of any application fee.

  3. 3

    Apply online before the deadline

    Apply on the official UMP portal. Most universities open between March and May and close between June and September, with selection programmes closing earliest.

  4. 4

    Apply for residence and funding

    Residence and NSFAS funding are separate applications. Apply for them at the same time, because places and funding deadlines fill up early.

Fees and funding

Application fees differ by university and change each year, and many waive the fee for South African citizens who apply online. NSFAS covers tuition and allowances if your household income is R350 000 or less.
