Documents You May Need

Applicants should prepare the documents required for their particular application. These may include:

• Identity document or passport
• Latest academic results
• Relevant school-leaving results or qualifications
• Additional supporting documents where required

Applicants should check UJ's application instructions for the exact documents required for their circumstances.

Important Application Tips

• Check your APS: UJ programmes have specific admission and subject requirements. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
• Choose carefully: UJ allows applicants only two academic application choices, and these choices cannot be changed once the application has been processed.
• Apply before the deadline: undergraduate applications close on 31 October 2026 at 12:00, and UJ states that late applications will not be accepted.
• Be careful of scams: UJ warns applicants not to pay individuals who claim they can secure admission or a study place.

Postgraduate Applications

Postgraduate applications are also open for the 2027 academic year, but applicants should note that some postgraduate programmes have earlier closing dates. Applicants must check the closing date for their specific programme before applying.

Application Closing Date

For all undergraduate programmes, the stated closing date is:

31 October 2026 at 12:00

Applicants should submit their applications well before the deadline and use the official UJ website for the latest application information.
