JUPAS - How does it work?

• •

Each programme will give you a rating in accordance with its criteria for selection.

Your AL & CE results, information contained in your application form, interview(s) performance and / or test(s) are considered.

JUPAS - How does it work?

A computer system will then match the order of preference you have assigned to the study programmes of your choice with the rating you have achieved for these programmes.

You will be made an offer of the highest priority on your programme list for which you have the required rating.
