� Accounting

*In formal education at the University of Pretoria, the language of tuition is English or Afrikaans, or both of these languages, provided that
there is a demand and that it is academically and economically justifiable. It is advisable for students to have English and/or Afrikaans as Home
Language or as First Additional Language. UP’s language policy is currently under revision.
Prospective students in Grade 12 (final school-year) must use their final Grade 11 year mark (promotion mark)
to apply and it will also be used for provisional admission. No Grade 12 marks will be considered for provisional
admission. Prospective students who have already left school should use their NSC/IEB* Certificate to apply. Also
refer to www.universitiessa.ac.za. Additional selection criteria are applicable in applications for selection programmes.
The final Grade 12 results remain the determining factor with regard to admission. Compliance with the minimum
requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission to any programme.
The calculation of an Admission Point Score (APS) is based on a candidate’s achievement in any SIX recognised NSC
20-credit subjects (including subjects from the non-designated subject list, eg CAT, Tourism, Hospitality Studies and
Civil, Electrical & Mechanical Technology, etc), by using the NSC seven-point rating scale. Life Orientation is a 10-credit
subject and may not be used for calculating the APS. Life Orientation is also not a faculty-specific subject requirement.

*In formal education at the University of Pretoria, the language of tuition is English or Afrikaans, or both of these languages, provided that
there is a demand and that it is academically and economically justifiable. It is advisable for students to have English and/or Afrikaans as Home
Language or as First Additional Language. UP’s language policy is currently under revision.
Prospective students in Grade 12 (final school-year) must use their final Grade 11 year mark (promotion mark)
to apply and it will also be used for provisional admission. No Grade 12 marks will be considered for provisional
admission. Prospective students who have already left school should use their NSC/IEB* Certificate to apply. Also
refer to www.universitiessa.ac.za. Additional selection criteria are applicable in applications for selection programmes.
The final Grade 12 results remain the determining factor with regard to admission. Compliance with the minimum
requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission to any programme.
The calculation of an Admission Point Score (APS) is based on a candidate’s achievement in any SIX recognised NSC
20-credit subjects (including subjects from the non-designated subject list, eg CAT, Tourism, Hospitality Studies and
Civil, Electrical & Mechanical Technology, etc), by using the NSC seven-point rating scale. Life Orientation is a 10-credit
subject and may not be used for calculating the APS. Life Orientation is also not a faculty-specific subject requirement.
