How is UMP APS score calculated?

APS, Admission Point Score,  is an important metric used for the admission process of South African tertiary schools and universities such as the University of Mpumalanga. Thus, it determines a student’s admission chances, with higher point scores increasing admission chances and vice versa. The University of Mpumalanga operates a unique calculation system for APS.

UMP APS score calculations are based on the general APS table. The tweak is that UMP’s APS calculation allots points for each subject based on the percentage scored in that particular subject, with the total points scored for each subject constituting the admission point score. The University of Mpumalanga’s calculation system requires six subjects for its calculation.
