university of pretoria: higher education
The University of Pretoria (UP) is a seven-campus public university with its
largest campus in the heart of Hatfield, the picturesque diplomatic hub of South
Africa’s capital city. We’re proud to stand among the world’s leading research
universities. Nestled in the purple haze of Pretoria’s iconic jacaranda trees,
UP offers a high quality of teaching, learning and research expertise across all
nine faculties, including South Africa’s only Faculty of Veterinary Science, and
Africa’s top Faculty of Law and business school. We firmly believe that our
success is measured not only by what we have already achieved, but how the
actions we take today impact on our future and the future of the continent as a
whole. Our characteristic resolve and focussed commitment have seen us transform
into a dynamic community of some of the world’s brightest minds, working
together across disciplines to discover knowledge and find solutions to some of
society’s most pressing concerns. For us, UP is more than a university – it is a
way of life that is underpinned by striving for excellence, giving back to
society, and living a life that is ethical, understanding and caring towards
everyone. Our graduates are critical and creative thinkers who are able to
function seamlessly in a professional work environment while maintaining a
strong commitment to contributing to South Africa by being socially responsible
and active citizens.
