Within the next five years, 60% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. Urban living comes with large-scale economic advantages and society benefits from economies of scale.

New: Graduate Career Guide
2016-07-20
The UFS officially has its own Graduate Career Guide. The Career Development office launched the guide on 19 July 2016 in front of the main building where students could get their FREE copy. The guide provides information and knowledge to graduates to assist in their preparation for the world of work. The guide consists of articles ranging from CV Writing tips, Interview preparation and what companies expect from their potential employees, to what skills are needed in the work environment and an answer to the age old question: Should I study further or not?
