a) Students applying for Biokinetics: In the first round approximately twenty to thirty
students will be selected purely on academic performance. The selected students may
then be requested to attend an interview on the date indicated. UFS students must
undergo psychometric tests (at their own expense) before applying. Contact Petro Herbst,
tel. no. 051 4012853 for an appointment. Students from other universities will be required
to undergo psychometric tests (at their own expense) on the date of interview at the UFS.
An administration fee of R300 for the tests is payable to Kovsie Counselling.
Interviews are held selectively with candidates from whom additional information is
desired. If a candidate’s name does not appear on the interview list, this does not imply
that a candidate has not been selected or has been selected. All candidates must wait until
the announcement day to determine if they have been selected or not.
b) Students from the other study areas are selected on academic performance and
interviews. A minimum of five candidates are required before an area of specialisation will
be offered.
c) Visit the Departmental website on a regular basis for news regarding the results of the
selection and the upcoming interviews. The final list of selected students will be placed on

* Students who need to complete a UFS application form for 2016 have an earlier application closing date due to the
administrative process that needs to take place to input the application onto the University system. Late applications
will not be processed in time and will therefore not be able to be taken into consideration for selection.
