The University of Western Cape (UWC) requires an online application fee when applying for admission. The application fee is non-refundable and covers the administrative costs of processing applications.

The exact amount of the UWC online application fee may vary depending on the program you are applying for and your country of origin. Typically, the application fee for South African citizens and permanent residents is lower than the fee for international applicants.
