The tool asks you 20 questions across 5 randomly selected categories such as your interests, natural strengths, work style preferences, problem-solving approach, subject enjoyment, and career values.

About This Tool
The UniversityInfo Career Guidance Tool was created to help South African students who feel uncertain about their future study path. Many learners finish matric without clear direction — and that's completely normal.
This tool uses a personality-based approach: instead of relying only on marks, it looks at your genuine interests, natural strengths, preferred work style, and personal values to suggest courses that truly fit who you are.
Whether you're in Grade 11, writing matric, or taking a gap year — this tool is for you. It's free, private, and designed to be the starting point of your journey.
