Programme

Thousands of Grade 12 learners, teachers, parents, principals, and members of the broader community are expected to descend on the Qwaqwa Campus on Saturday 26 May 2018 for the annual Open Day.

This year’s programme will ensure that future Kovsies gather as much academic information as possible. Also available in the Rolihlahla Mandela Hall will be all the administrative services, including Financial Aid, Tuition Fees, Housing and Residence Affairs, the Health and Wellness Centre, etc.
 
The programme will start with the first information session in the different faculties from 09:00 to 10:00. The second session will commence at 11:00-12:00. On entering the campus, learners will go to the gazebos in front of the Intsika Building to get the campus map and the programme for the day.

Teachers, principals, and parents are invited to engage with Professor Francis Petersen, Rector and Vice-Chancellor. This programme is scheduled for 12:00-14:00 in E14, Sedibeng Education Building. 

Learners will also have an opportunity to apply for the 2019 academic year.

A group of academics of Romania visited the Department of Medical Physics of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently. Proff. Mihai Caramihai and Ana Chirvase are senior researchers of the Facultatea de Automatica & Calculatoare, Universitatea Politehnica Bucuresti who are working together with Prof. Charles Herbst and Dr William Rae of the UFS on the project MAmmary Malignancy Modelling using Artificial intelligence, ROmania South Africa, or Mamma Rosa. It is part of a larger local project aimed at implementing a computer-aided diagnosis programme (CAD), designed within the UFS's Department of Medical Physics, and which will take into account some of the South African requirements for computerised diagnostic radiology support. The National Research Foundation (NRF) provided travel funding and Prof. Herbst and Dr Rae visited Bucharest in November 2008 to collaborate with the Romanians. The visiting Romanian researchers were involved in a similar project where they were planning to model the changes in tumours as they grow and as they are treated. Dr Rae says there are many synergies between the two departments. The project has many aspects and there are several possibilities for related sub-projects. As a result the UFS has been able to attract three people to be involved in the project and they will do their Ph.Ds with the UFS. On the visit to Bloemfontein the roles of the researchers in the project were defined and the programme for the three-year collaboration was established. The stimulus created as a result of this collaboration has resulted in projects that will continue for at least the next four years.
