Nelson Mandela University (NMU) is based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) with campuses across the Eastern Cape. NMU uses a unique raw percentage Applicant Score system rather than the standard APS point scale.

How NMU calculates APS

NMU uses raw subject percentages summed to give an Applicant Score (AS) out of 600. Students from Quintile 1-3 schools receive a 7-point bonus if Life Orientation is 50% or higher, giving a maximum of 607.

General minimum

320

Tip: The Quintile bonus is significant — if you attended a Quintile 1, 2 or 3 school, make sure you select Yes for the bonus points.

Is your school a Quintile 1, 2 or 3 school?
