Only first to third CAO choices are considered, and no late applications are considered (closing date 30 September 2026). Meeting the minimums does not guarantee a place: UKZN selects by academic ranking from APS 48 down until the places are filled. Compulsory clinical placements, some outside Durban, are at the student's own cost for travel, accommodation and living.

Selection programme (prospectus: 'Subject to selection: Yes'); it must be your first choice. Applications for 2027 closed on 31 May 2026. The current School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences selection policy (written for the 2026 intake) ranks applicants on a selection mark out of 118 (100 academic, up to 18 non-academic); a maximum of five (5) international students are considered; no fixed number of places is published (numbers follow the UFS enrolment plan).
Rough guide: whole degree = first-year tuition × years. Fees rise every year; add books, equipment, transport and living costs. Some health routes include service or internship stages with their own pay and expenses: confirm them for your route.
