The University of Limpopo is a public higher education institution located in Sovenga, near Mankweng outside Polokwane in South Africa's Limpopo province. It is organised into four faculties -- Humanities, Management and Law, Science and Agriculture, and Health Sciences -- through which it offers a wide range of undergraduate qualifications spanning education, social sciences, languages and communication, commerce, law, natural and agricultural sciences, and medical and health-related fields. Many of its degree programmes are also offered as Extended Curriculum Programmes, giving students who narrowly miss the standard entry requirements an additional foundational year to complete the same qualification. Admission to most programmes is determined using the national Admission Point Score (APS) system alongside minimum subject-level requirements set by each faculty, and select programmes such as Social Work, Foundation Phase Teaching and Psychology additionally require a selection test.

Across the 54 courses listed here, APS requirements run from 22 up to 30. Use the APS tool above to filter the list to what you qualify for right now.
