Checked on 23 October 2026: the universities below publish application deadlines that have not yet passed for 2027 entry. This is a verified shortlist, not a complete list of every open programme. Check the exact qualification, applicant category and closing time on the linked official page before applying.
University of Johannesburg (UJ)
UJ lists 31 October 2026 at 12:00 as its undergraduate application closing time. Several postgraduate programmes have earlier or different deadlines, so this date must not be applied to every course. Use UJ’s official admissions page to confirm your programme and start the application.
University of Fort Hare (UFH)
UFH advertises 2027 applications and lists 31 October 2026 for undergraduate applications and master’s and honours applications. Its listed PhD deadline is 31 March 2027. Check UFH’s application page and the programme requirements before submitting.
University of Mpumalanga (UMP)
UMP’s 2027 online application page lists 30 November 2026 for undergraduate programmes and advanced diplomas. Later deadlines are listed for other qualification levels, but applicants should confirm the current notice for their exact programme. Apply through the official UMP online application page
Before you apply
Prepare the identity and academic documents required by the university, check subject and admission requirements, and keep your application reference. Apply for residence and funding separately where required. An application or payment does not guarantee admission.
Why the earlier dates were removed
The previous version listed November 2025 deadlines for the 2026 academic year. Those dates have passed and cannot establish which universities are currently accepting applications. Institutions and programmes without a verified current opening have been removed from this shortlist. After the deadlines above, check official notices for a new intake rather than assuming that late applications are accepted.
