Apply to every university.
Once.

One profile. Multiple universities. No re-entering the same details on five different portals. unilink handles the applications — you just pick where you want to go.

The Problem

You shouldn't have to apply 5 times to go to university.

Every institution has its own portal, its own forms, its own deadlines. You enter the same name, the same ID number, the same matric results — over and over.

The same form, five times

Name. ID number. Address. Matric results. Next of kin. You type it all out for UCT, then again for Wits, then again for Stellenbosch. Each portal is different. Each one charges a fee. If you make a mistake, you might not catch it until it's too late.

A plastic card that costs everyone

Universities print PVC student cards that get lost, damaged, and need replacing every year. Students queue for hours to collect them. The system is expensive for institutions and inconvenient for everyone.

The Solution

Two things. Done properly.

We're not trying to replace your university's LMS or build a social network. We do two things and we do them well.

Universal Application

Build your profile once. Apply everywhere.

Fill in your personal details, matric results, and upload your documents one time. Then pick the universities you want and we submit your information to each one — formatted to their specific requirements.

  • ID, address, matric marks, NBT scores, next of kin — all stored once
  • Select up to 5 universities from one screen
  • Your data maps to each institution's specific criteria (APS, required subjects)
  • POPIA-compliant encryption for all personal information

Digital Student Card

A student ID that lives on your phone.

Once you're enrolled, your unilink profile becomes a secure digital student card. A rotating QR code that works offline and can't be faked.

  • Cryptographic QR that refreshes automatically — no screenshots
  • Works without internet — open the app, show the code
  • Campus access, library, transport discounts
  • No more queuing for a plastic card you'll lose in two months

How It Works

Universities don't have APIs. So we built around that.

There's no central system for South African university applications. Each institution has its own website. We use AI agents that navigate those sites the same way you would — but faster, and without typos.

1

Build your profile

Enter your details once — ID, address, matric results, documents. Everything universities ask for, in one place.

2

Pick your universities

Browse and select up to 5 institutions. We'll show you their APS requirements and whether you qualify before you commit.

3

We handle the rest

Our system submits your applications through each university's portal. You get confirmation and status updates as they come in.

Product & Commercial Strategy

Handles institutional partnerships, regulatory compliance, and the commercial strategy that gets unilink into universities.

The application process shouldn't be the hardest part of going to university.

We're building the tool we wish existed when we applied. If you're a student, institution, or investor — let's talk.
