Message from the Vice-Rector: Academic, Prof Lis Lange

Staff at the university have been working tirelessly to develop a different way of teaching and learning to ensure that you complete the 2016 academic year.

Nothing is more important to us than the quality of your education.

Teaching and learning will start on 1 November. However, this will not take place in the classrooms, but through a different mode of delivery which consists of a combination of printed and recorded lectures, study materials, and learning aids that will be provided by the university and delivered through Blackboard.

Everybody at the UFS has been working very hard to ensure that you succeed. However, you will also need to do your part. Apply yourself and demonstrate that you have the courage, the discipline, and the commitment to succeed.
