Welcome to Internationalisation @ Home (I@H), the University of the Free State's (UFS) one-stop resource for international students. We are here to help you make the most of your time at the UFS – from arrival to graduation.

We offer support, guidance, and a vibrant community to help you thrive.
We provide essential information, helpful resources, and friendly support to ensure a smooth transition to your new academic home.

The UFS recognises the critical importance of developing its students' international and intercultural competencies through Internationalisation @ Home. It adopts a vision whereby each student will in future have an international experience during their UFS studies.

The university realises this by promoting and organising intersectional celebrations of cultural diversity. 


Achieved through:

  • Focus on the informal curriculum of UFS students.
  • Building and strengthening relations with relevant stakeholders that assist in realising this goal.
  • Developing activities infused with an intercultural dimension so that international learning opportunities are presented within the local domestic environment.
  • I@H activities provide a cost-effective way of ensuring that UFS students get an international experience without necessarily taking part in exchange programmes.
