STUDY PATHWAYS

Find the right kind of institution

University and TVET routes can lead to different qualifications. Start with your interests, then check the published entry rules for each programme.

Universities

University entry requirements vary by qualification and institution. One university may calculate an APS from six subjects while another uses its own score and required subjects. Some programmes also select applicants on rank, interviews or portfolios. A published minimum only tells you when you can be considered.

TVET colleges

TVET study can offer practical and vocational routes. Entry levels and subject requirements differ by programme. Some NC(V) Level 2 routes are intended for learners with Grade 9 or higher, while other qualifications may expect a matric certificate. Check the college’s own prospectus before applying.

How Future Plug compares programmes

Enter one set of results in the APS Matcher. It applies each live programme’s published scoring and subject rules, and groups results as meeting a minimum, near a minimum, needing more information, or not currently meeting a minimum. The result is guidance, not an admission decision.

When a result needs more information

School grade, school quintile, a required portfolio or another selection step may change the answer. Add the missing details when available and verify the full process with the institution.

Before you choose

Consider the qualification, campus, fees, transport and student support. Compare official course pages and funding terms. Apply to more than one suitable option when you can.
