Undergraduate Courses Open for Late Applications at UJ 2026

The University of Johannesburg (UJ) has confirmed a limited number of undergraduate qualifications that still have available space for the 2026 academic year through its late application (late enquiry) process. These opportunities are aimed at prospective students who missed the main application window or who are seeking alternative study options after the release of final matric results.

UJ has emphasized that late applications are space-dependent and that meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Final selections will be made by the university once the late enquiry period closes.

College of Business and Economics (CEP)

The College of Business and Economics has the largest number of undergraduate options available during the late application period, particularly in business-focused courses designed to prepare students for the workplace or further study.

Available Undergraduate Qualifications

• Higher Certificate in Business Management (Management)
• Higher Certificate in Business Management (Risk Management)
• Higher Certificate in Business Management (Project Management)
• Bachelor of Commerce in Accountancy

  Business Management (Access/Foundation Course)

These qualifications are ideal for students interested in commerce, finance, management, and human resources. The access and higher certificate courses also provide an alternative entry route for applicants who may not meet direct degree requirements.
