The UJ Prospectus 2027 is the official guide to every undergraduate qualification at the University of Johannesburg, with minimum APS scores, subject requirements, campuses and funding information. Because UJ only lets you choose two study choices, reading the prospectus carefully before you apply is the most important step in your application.
Where to Find the UJ Prospectus 2027
The official UJ Undergraduate Prospectus 2027 is linked as a PDF from the Undergraduate page under Admissions + Aid on uj.ac.za. UJ notes that content in the publication is subject to change, so always check the latest version on the official website. Avoid “prospectus downloads” from unofficial sites, which may be outdated.
