Postgraduate studies are often accompanied by a financial burden for many students. The University of the Free State (UFS) has relaxed registration fees for all final-year students in order to gain easier access to postgraduate studies.
If you are a final-year student at the Qwaqwa Campus, and want to have a competitive edge once you enter the workplace, the Postgraduate Open Day is the event for you.
The Vice-Chancellor and Rector of the University of the Free State, Prof Jonathan Jansen, is hosting an information session on your campus, and has dedicated an informative letter to you as a prelude.
