On 11 and 12 December 2025, the University of the Free State’s (UFS) Callie Human Hall will come alive as we gather to celebrate a milestone that marks the culmination of years of study and dedication by 1 454 Kovsies. It is the stage every UFS student dreams of stepping onto, where hard work, perseverance, and personal growth are recognised in front of family, friends, and the wider university community.
Thursday 11 December will see the first set of graduations, with Friday 12 December dedicated entirely to the Faculty of Health Sciences. Both days’ sessions start at 09:00, and the hall will be filled with the energy, anticipation, and pride that comes with seeing our students reach this defining moment.
Graduation is a time to acknowledge the journeys of our Kovsies – the late nights, the challenges overcome, and the determination that has brought them here. It is a moment of pride and celebration, shared with family, friends, and staff who have supported them along the way.
