a) Calculating the EBE Faculty Point Score (FPS)
The EBE FPS is a score that is notionally out of 100, with the NSC and NBT results making equal contribution. To calculate the EBE FPS score, rst add the percentages obtained for the six NSC qualifying subjects (see (b) below) and divide the result by 12. Second, add the percentages obtained for the three NBTs and divide the result by 6. Add the two results together.
EBE FPS = (NSC total / 12) + NBT total / 6
Where:
NSC total = sum of the percentages obtained for the six qualifying subjects (600 maximum)
NBT total = sum of the percentages obtained for the three NBT components (300 maximum) %
b) Calculating the EBE Weighted Point Score
(WPS)
The WPS is calculated by multiplying the EBE FPS by a disadvantage factor between 1.0 and 1.1.
Examples: FPS 70 X 1.0 = WPS 70. FPS 70 X 1.1
= WPS 77
c) Quali cation-speci c NSC subject requirements
Architectural Studies
Score English, and Mathematics or Physical Sciences, and the next four best subjects, other than Life Orientation.
Construction Studies, Engineering and Geomatics
Score English, Mathematics, Physical Sciences and the next three best subjects, other than Life Orientation.
Property Studies
Score English, Mathematics and the next four best subjects, other than Life Orientation.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
Minimum requirements: 60 FPS; NBT scores for QL and Mathematics at Intermediate; 70% for NSC Mathematics, 65% for
NSC Physical Sciences
d)
Admission to the Bachelor of Architectural Studies
Selection into the Bachelor of Architectural Studies is competitive and based on a score derived from the EBE FPS or WPS combined with the Architecture Portfolio Score.
e) Admission to Construction Studies, Engineering,Geomatics, and Property Studies
A conditional offer of a place may be made to an applicant on the basis of recent school examinations and NBT results. This offer will then be converted into an unconditional offer if the applicant achieves similar (or better) results in the nal examinations.
