It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to check the minimum programme requirements, including the minimum APS and any subject-specific requirements, for each qualification they wish to apply for.
Meeting or exceeding the minimum APS is not a guarantee of selection. Competition for places is significant and many programmes receive far more applications than available seats.
This calculator is provided as a guide only and does not constitute an offer or guarantee of admission.
Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy no longer carry the same points. Mathematics uses the dedicated higher points column. Mathematical Literacy is calculated as an other subject (maximum 8 at Level 8). This distinction may affect eligibility for certain programmes.
