The Faculty of Health Sciences admits students who have the marks and subjects that show they are likely to succeed. 2. To make sure students from different backgrounds are fairly represented, places are reserved in certain categories. Selection happens separately in these categories, as explained in this document. 3. For selection in the Faculty of Health Sciences: ƒ The Designated Group category includes South African applicants who are Black African or Coloured. ƒ The Open category includes all applicants. Applicants from the Designated Group first compete in the Open category. If they are not selected there, they are then considered in the Designated Group category. 4. Each programme has a set number of places for every category. If there are not enough qualifying applicants in a category, the Selection Committee may leave some places open or give them to qualifying applicants from another category. 5. A small number of places are available for applicants who are citizens of other countries*. Applicants from SADC countries are given preference. Permanent residents of South Africa are not seen as foreign students. Applications from foreign applicants may also be considered if they are: ƒ citizens or permanent residents of countries that have government agreements with South Africa, or ƒ asylum seekers or refugees. 6. Applicants from countries that already have their own medical schools cannot apply for the MBChB (Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery) degree. 7. Applicants who have more than one citizenship, including South African citizenship, will be considered South African. 8. The final number of new students accepted each year depends on the available teaching facilities and resources, as well as the number of students repeating first- year modules. 9. Only applicants who meet the requirements in this document will be considered. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission, as there are only a limited number of spaces. 10. Selection is based on merit. The Faculty does not set fixed cut-off points. These cut‑off points depend on how many students apply in each category compared to the number of available places. 11. A Merit Point Score (MPS) is used to rank applicants in all programmes. In some programmes, other factors, such as living in a rural area, may also be considered. 12. Some programmes only consider first-choice applicants. Programmes that allow second-choice applicants will specify this. 14. All offers are conditional until the final exam results are received. For school-leaver applicants, the conditional place will remain valid if the final NSC (or equivalent) MPS is not more than five points lower than the Grade 11 MPS. 15. Once final NSC (or equivalent) results are available, conditional offers will be confirmed if the applicant still meets the required criteria. Applicants who met the minimum requirements but were not conditionally selected, or those who lost their place because their MPS dropped by more than five points, will have their MPS recalculated using their final results. If spaces open up, offers may be made to them. 16. If places become available due to cancellations or forfeited offers, they will be filled from the recalculated list for that category. 17. 18. This recalculated list will remain active until the end of the second week of lectures. Applicants who did not receive a conditional offer and whose names are not on the recalculated list will not be considered again once the final NSC (or equivalent) results are out. 19. All successful applicants are admitted to the first year of study only. Students in the University Experience categories may apply for credit for modules they have already completed. 20. 21. Incomplete applications will not be considered. If an applicant leaves out important information on purpose, or gives false information, their application, admission or registration may be cancelled immediately. 22. If a student is offered a place but does not accept it, the offer becomes invalid. They must reapply to be considered again the following year. *Applicants who are not South African citizens Faculty of Health Sciences website www.up.ac.za/health Application requirements ƒ The closing date for applications for programmes in this faculty is 30 June. ƒ Meeting the application requirements does not guarantee admission into a programme.

The application process aims to include a diverse group of students. For first- year admissions, the Faculty aims for at least 50% of the first-year class to be from designated groups (black African, Indian and Coloured). If this goal is not met during the first round of selection, the process will be adjusted to give more places to the highest-achieving applicants from these groups until the 50% target is reached. ƒ If places are available, applicants may still be conditionally admitted after the closing date. This applies to those who have already graduated with another degree and can provide a Certificate of Good Conduct, or those who have completed the NSC (or equivalent) with an APS of 38 or higher and at least a level 6 in English.

Applicants with General Education Development Test (GED) and School of Tomorrow (SOT) qualifications will not be considered for admission. Selection in each of the categories (see Annexures C and D of the faculty brochure) is based on merit. If there are too few applicants who meet the minimum requirements in a category, the Faculty Selection Committee (FVS) can give those places to applicants from another category. The total number of places available will be decided by the Faculty Selection Committee, taking into account the teaching facilities and resources available. Applicants are placed into categories based on their Merit Point Score (see Annexures C and D of the faculty brochure for how this is calculated). Applicants with the highest scores in each category are chosen until all places are filled. The cut-off score depends on how many people apply and the level of achievement of applicants. Applicants may be asked to take part in extra selection activities, such as interviews or additional tests. Applicants who are admitted or conditionally selected will be notified by 30 September. Those in the second-round selection for school-leaving applicants (Category A2) will be notified about a week after the final Grade 12 results are released. Admission for conditionally selected applicants will be confirmed once the NSC results for that year are available. If places open up after selection because of cancellations or forfeitures, they will be offered to applicants on the ranking list for that category until the end of orientation week. Places must be taken up by the end of the first week of lectures. Applicants from countries other than South Africa* must follow all UP and Department of Home Affairs regulations for foreign students.
