About admission scores

Stellenbosch uses an NSC/IEB aggregate percentage (your six best subjects excluding Life Orientation), not the 18–42 APS point scale.

Some programmes do not list an aggregate (shown as blank or 0). They may select on a combined/composite score, portfolio, audition, or subject rules instead.

Always read the requirements and additional information under each programme, and remember meeting the minimum aggregate does not guarantee admission.
