Admission Requirements:
National Senior Certificate (NSC)
In order to gain acceptance in any of the faculties, applicants require:
• National Senior Certificate (NSC) or Independent Examinations Board (IEB) subjects, and
• Certain levels of achievement as set out in this Guide, as well as Bachelor’s Passes.
Wits tabulates the points score for all subjects on the following basis:
• English must be taken either as Home Language or as 1st Additional Language.
• Mathematics is compulsory for all numerate degrees in Engineering and Built Environment, Commerce, Law and
Management, Science and most Health Sciences.
• Maths Literacy will be accepted by BA Law, Education and Humanities (except for Speech-Language Pathology
and Audiology).
• Wits does not distinguish between designated vs. non designated subjects when calculating the admission point
score (APS).
• The APS calculation is based on the best seven subjects including Life Orientation.

duration. You are required to complete a minimum number of
science courses in order to have two major courses at third
year level, one of which must be in the Faculty of Science.
WHEN PLANNING YOUR BSC DEGREE, KEEP IN MIND...
You require two major subjects at third year. Choose subjects that are complementary and that give you
options as you proceed to your second and third year of study. It is also possible in some cases to include
courses from other Faculties, such as Psychology, Philosophy or Economics.
The broad areas of study covered in the BSc include:
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
Biology covers all aspects of the study of living organisms, ranging from understanding the gene to managing
ecosystems. This includes the molecular basis of life, including the biochemistry of molecules such as DNA, RNA
and proteins; the physiological functions of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems; the influence of evolutionary
relationships on a wide range of biological problems; and aquatic and terrestrial ecology.
EARTH SCIENCES
The Earth Sciences study the processes that shape the earth, atmosphere and the organisms that have evolved
on earth. Fields of specialisation include the exploration for and the mining of minerals, the prediction of weather
and earthquakes, the evolution of species through time, the state of our natural environment and how we can best
manage the system. Courses in the Earth Sciences cluster are largely taught through the Schools of Geosciences
and Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies.
MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES
Wits has three large schools in the area of study known as the ‘Mathematical Sciences’ and these are the School
of Mathematics, the School of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics and the School of Statistics and
Actuarial Science.
Pure Mathematics is a developing science. Mathematical Statistics and Actuarial Science are important in business
and governmental planning, insurance, finance, banking and investments.
Applied Mathematics has applications in banking, finance and industry. Computer Science offers the understanding
of computer hardware and software, in all their applications.
PHYSICAL SCIENCES
From nuclear, particle, solid and liquid state physics, electricity, electronics, magnetism, optics, acoustics, heat and
thermodynamics to the composition of matter (gas, liquid or solid) and of the changes that take place in it under
certain conditions. Disciplines in the Physical Sciences at Wits are taught by the Schools of Chemistry and Physics.
8BIOLOGICAL
SCIENCES
Biological Sciences fall into two main streams: The School of Molecular and Cell Biology offers
Courses offered by the School of Animal, Plant four major programmes: Applied Bioinformatics,
and Environmental Sciences fall within three broad Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Genetics and
themes: Biodiversity, Ecology and Conservation, and Developmental Biology, Microbiology and
