How UKZN scores you

Every university does this differently.

Checked against the official source

UKZN APS

UKZN adds six subjects on an 8-point scale (90-100% = 8, 80-89% = 7 ... 0-29% = 1), excluding Life Orientation. English, Mathematics (or Mathematical Literacy) and your best other subjects make up the six.

This score means nothing at another university – it can’t be compared with any other university’s.

What we couldn’t confirm
  • UKZN’s programme figures are from its 2026 documents (no 2027 table was published when we checked), so they are flagged as older.

APS scale - percentage to level conversion

RESOLVED 2026-10-01. UKZN’s points table was read from its 2026 College of Law and Management Studies handbook: 90-100% = 8, 80-89% = 7, 70-79% = 6, 60-69% = 5, 50-59% = 4, 40-49% = 3, 30-39% = 2, 0-29% = 1, over six subjects excluding Life Orientation (maximum 48). The calculator now computes UKZN scores. UKZN programme figures are still from 2026 documents.
