June 2018 graduates from the University of the Free State (UFS) Bloemfontein Campus are beginning to prepare for their upcoming graduations. The ceremonies are scheduled to take place at the Callie Human Centre from Wednesday 27 June until Friday 29 June 2018.
The UFS plans to document and highlight the special moments that graduates encounter at this time. A daily update accompanied by photos will be available on the UFS website.
Visit the UFS graduation ceremonies page for more information on the upcoming events. Graduates and students are free to familiarise themselves with the Graduation Guide Booklet which stipulates the necessary information for students to note during the graduation processions.

Mock court competition for first year LLB-students
2005-11-08
The Faculty of Law at the University of the Free State (UFS) presented the first mock court competition for first year LLB-students in the Appeal Court in Bloemfontein. In the past this type of competition was presented by other universities in the country only for senior students and never before in the Appeal Court. This year the UFS presented the first competition which other universities were invited to. These were the Universities of Rhodes and Pretoria. The Afrikaans competition was won by the UFS, while the University of Rhodes made a clean sweep in the English competition.
