Main building UFS

The University of the Free State (UFS) values the global exchange of knowledge and expertise. Whether you are an incoming staff member contributing to our academic community or a UFS colleague preparing for an international assignment, you will find guidance and resources here to enrich your journey.


We invite all newly appointed non-South African colleagues, as well as our current international staff members, to engage with the OIA. The International Office is here to support you in your journey, whether you are settling into a new role, navigating life in South Africa, or seeking guidance as a valued part of our global academic community.


We encourage our academic and professional staff to expand their horizons through international collaboration. UFS provides access to networks, partnerships, and mobility programmes that support staff exchanges, training, and research abroad. For more information, follow link.
