Established in 2014, UMP is one of South Africa’s newest and most dynamic public universities. Based in Mbombela (Nelspruit), Mpumalanga, it has grown rapidly in size, academic reputation, and student numbers.
The university places a strong focus on quality teaching, research, practical skills, and community engagement, making it an excellent choice for students from all backgrounds.
The following courses still have space at UMP for 2026 applications in June 2025:
Are late applications guaranteed to be accepted?
No. Late applications are dependent on space and meeting the minimum entry requirements. That’s why it’s best to apply as early in June as possible.
Can I register immediately after being accepted?
No. If your application is accepted in June for 2026 academic year, you will be able to register the following year in January 2026.
What if my desired course is full?
If the course you want is full consider applying for another course or applying in another institution in for 2026.
