Admission points and selection
We did not find VUT’s method for working out admission points on the pages we read. Look for it in the admission requirements or the prospectus. The APS calculator uses the standard seven-point scale and may differ from this university’s method.
Meeting a minimum score does not guarantee a place. We do not list cut-off scores.
Funding and costs
The application fee is only the first cost. For bursaries and loans, ask the VUT financial aid office, and read our NSFAS application guide. To add up several applications use the application planner, and to plan the cost of a degree use the university cost planner.
