In a year marked by a global pandemic, the University of the Free State (UFS) has made great strides in research, teaching, and impactful engagement.
Our 2020 journey has seen many staff members providing services to advance public knowledge of COVID-19 for the greater good of South Africa. We have produced top-rated scientists, boasting six SARChI research chairs and three A-rated scholars in our world-class workforce. Our various initiatives to ensure student success continue to bear fruit, with current and former students making their mark in the world. One such example is Qinisani Qwabe, a PhD student in the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture, Rural Development and Extension, who was selected in the education category of the Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans. He was also chosen to represent South Africa at a BRICS conference in Russia.

The Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS) has launched two guiding documents for medical students for the years 2000 (phase one) and 2004 (phase two). The faculty has been offering a five-year M.B.Ch.B degree since 2000 and subsequently revised the curriculum in 2004 to comply with international developments. As a result, guiding documents detailing the academic and administrative regulations for each phase were compiled. At the launch were, from the left, front: Dr Brenda de Klerk (Phase I chairperson), Prof Elsa de Wet (Phase II chairperson) and Prof Laurika van der Westhuizen (Programme Director); back from left: Prof Gert van Zyl (Head: School of Medicine) and Dr Hennie Geyer (Phase II chairperson)
