UFS Courses And Requirements 2024-2025; apply.ufs.ac.za 2024
The University of the Free State, a public research university in South Africa, provides a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs in numerous subject areas. Depending on the faculty, different courses and requirements may apply. Certain undergraduate programs, particularly the selection courses, may have additional and/or differing admission requirements within the faculties. Make sure you are familiar with the program’s requirements before applying.
Remember that meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to UFS. The university’s admission process is challenging because there are far more candidates than available spots.
The requirements for admission to UFS can vary depending on the program you’re interested in. UFS Courses And Requirements 2024-2025

EXTENDED CURRICULUM PROGRAMMES
Prospective students who apply for admission in 2024 but do not meet the requirements for admission to the mainstream program with their final NSC scores may be placed in the Extended Curriculum Program (ECP).
Placement is contingent on space and is not guaranteed.
Your chances of being admitted to study at the UFS are stronger the better your test results.
The ECP is made to give students the skills they need to succeed in their studies even if they don’t achieve the minimal entry standards.
Together with ordinary academic work, academic support, and skill development are combined.
In general, prospective students should speak with the pertinent faculty or program to learn more about the specific admission standards and application processes.
