The Faculty of Health Sciences uses a Composite Index (CI) score to guide applicant selection. This includes:

  1. Your matric academic results for five subjects:
    English, Mathematics, best of Physical Sciences/Life
    Sciences and the best two other subjects. We consider
    the percentage achieved, not the symbol. The average
    of the five subjects carries a 60% weighting.
  2. National Benchmark Test (NBT) scores. The average of
    the NBT scores carries a 40% weighting.

All applicants must write the NBT. Applicants applying to the Graduate Entry Medical Programme (GEMP) or the Graduate Entry Physiotherapy Programme (GEPP), as well as applicants who are in their final year of study towards a Bachelor’s degree, or who have already completed a Bachelor’s degree, are not required to write the NBT.
