How Do I Apply Online At UJ 2026?

Applying to university is an exciting step toward your future, and the University of Johannesburg (UJ) makes this process simple and accessible through its online application system. Whether you are a first-time applicant, returning student, or international candidate, UJ’s online application platform allows you to apply from the comfort of your home, at your own pace.

The online application process for 2026 is mapped to be user-oriented, guiding you through each step, from choosing your programme to submitting the necessary documents. You will need access to a device with an internet connection, a valid email address, and your personal and academic information on hand before you begin. Make sure you meet the minimum admission requirements for your chosen course to avoid any delays or disappointment.

It is important to note that UJ does not accept manual or hard copy applications for undergraduate studies. Everything is done online via the official UJ website, and the application portal is usually open from around April of the year before your intended studies, so for 2026, expect applications to open sometime in 2025. Deadlines differ depending on the programme, so applying early is strongly advised.

Before you apply, take some time to prospect the different faculties and programmes provided, and consider your career goals. You can also check the status of your application online after submission, which makes the whole process transparent and efficient.
