How do I increase my chances of being accepted at UCT?

By working hard and achieving good results in Grades 11 and 12 and performing well in the National Benchmarking Tests (NBTs) you will have a good chance of getting into UCT. However, different faculties and programs have different entrance requirements so we encourage you to increase your chances of admission by making two choices in your application.

Do I need to take the NBTs to apply to UCT?

Except for admission to the programs in the Faculty of Engineering & the Built Environment, writing the NBTs is mandatory for all undergraduate applicants normally residents or at schools in South Africa.

Can I apply to UCT while completing Grade 11?

While we appreciate your eagerness, applications may only be submitted in the year before you plan to register. So, the answer is no, you will not be able to apply while still in Grade 11.
