The LLB programme at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) has specific entry requirements for prospective students. Meeting these criteria is essential for consideration for admission.
- Minimum APS (Admission Point Score): 31 with Mathematics or 32 with Mathematical Literacy[1][2][4].
- English: Minimum level 5 (60% or higher)[1][2][4].
- Additional Language: Minimum level 4 (50% or higher)[1][2][4].
- Mathematics: Minimum level 3 (40% or higher), if applicable[1][2][4].
- Mathematical Literacy: Minimum level 4 (50% or higher), if applicable[1][2][4].
For international applicants:
- Submit a completed application form with all supporting documents, including final school results, valid passport or ID, and a sworn English translation if documents are not in English[3][6].
- Proof of English proficiency is required if English was not the medium of instruction (IELTS overall score of 6 or TOEFL score of 80–104 is preferred). Alternatively, applicants may take the UJ English Language Programme Test (UJELP) and must achieve an overall score of 6[3][6].
- A non-refundable application fee of R200 applies if not applying online[3][6].
- Applications open 1 April and close 31 October for the following academic year[3].
It is important to note that meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission, as acceptance also depends on the availability of space in the programme[4].
