Find University Courses & Admission Requirements

Universities in South Africa

South Africa offers a wide range of undergraduate study opportunities across traditional universities, comprehensive universities and universities of technology. Use Edupstairs to compare universities, explore courses and programme requirements, check application information, and find guidance on APS scores, NSFAS and other student resources.

University Applications and APS Requirements

University admission requirements differ by institution and by programme. Students should check the requirements for the specific course they intend to study rather than relying on a single APS target for every university. Edupstairs university hubs are designed to keep course information, APS requirements and application guidance together in one structured place.

How to Choose a University in South Africa

Start with the qualification or career direction you are interested in, then compare universities that offer relevant programmes. Check APS and subject requirements, location, programme duration, application closing dates, funding options and any additional selection requirements before applying.

NSFAS and University Funding

University admission and funding are separate processes. Students who intend to use NSFAS or another funding source should complete the relevant funding application and also submit their university application on time. Funding approval does not replace university admission requirements.
