Sunny

Updated: Apr 30, 2021

Applications to study medicine in 2022 have already opened at some South African universities. Below is a list of the 2021 application cycle opening and closing dates for Medicine. They are listed according to closing dates.

  1. University of Free State 1 April - 31 May 2021

  2. Sefako Makgatho Health Science University 1 April 2021 – 25 June 2021

  3. Wits University (GEMP) 1 April 2021 – 30 June 2021

  4. Stellenbosch University 6 April 2021 – 31 July 2021

  5. Walter Sisulu University 1 April 2021- 30 September 2021

  6. University of Cape Town 1 May 2021 – To be confirmed

  7. University of Pretoria 1 May 2021 – To be confirmed

  8. Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University 3 May 2021 – To be Announced

  9. University of KwaZulu Natal To be announced


The online application at the University of Free State and Walter Sisulu University is FREE. What an impressive and progressive move by both these universities! I hope other universities can follow suit. It is no secret that many people are locked out of applying to as many universities as they wish they could or even applying at all because of the application fees. If each of these medical schools charged a minimum of R100 that would be at least R900 required. Almost 1/4 of the minimum wage!
