If Maths/Science are required for a degree, they’ll be needed at university level too—be realistic now. Universities often select off Grade 11 results; APS and specific subject minimums both matter. Use job shadowing + reputable interest tools to find the right fields early. Resources mentioned Career interest questionnaire & short career videos (use any reputable SA career portal/tool). University faculty brochures for subject & APS requirements (check your chosen institutions). Notes Admission & APS thresholds vary by institution and change annually—always verify with official university pages.
