The average South African university degree costs over R400,000. Most students pick theirs by guessing.
One wrong choice costs you years and hundreds of thousands of rands. Map My Future matches you to the right degree and the bursaries that pay for it — before you waste a cent.
Our bursary database covers 132+ bursaries worth billions in funding. Most students qualify for at least one — and never apply because they didn't know it existed. Map My Future shows you exactly which ones you're eligible for.
It takes 15 minutes. You'll walk away knowing exactly where to aim.

Map My Future is an AI-powered platform that matches students to university courses best suited to their academic profile and career goals.
Map My Future is designed for South African students in Grades 9–12 who are exploring their university and career options.
No. Map My Future is an independent platform. Our recommendations are based purely on your academic profile — not on partnerships with any institution.
You enter your subjects, marks, and interests. Our AI analyses your profile against the entry requirements of courses across seven major South African universities and returns your top matches, ranked by compatibility.
We currently cover UCT, Stellenbosch, Wits, UJ, UP, UKZN, and NMU.
Our matching is based on official entry requirements including APS scores, subject prerequisites, and faculty-specific requirements. Results are a guide — always verify final requirements directly with the university.
You'll enter your current or most recent school subjects and the percentage marks for each. The more accurate your marks, the better your matches.
An APS (Admission Point Score) is a number calculated from your matric subject marks. Each subject is converted to a point value on a scale, and these are added together. Map My Future calculates this automatically from the marks you enter.
Your compatibility score reflects how well your academic profile aligns with a course's entry requirements. A higher score means you're a strong candidate; a lower score may mean you need to improve certain subjects.
That's okay — many students use Map My Future in Grade 9, 10, or 11 specifically to know what to work towards. Your results will show you where you stand and what you'd need to improve.
