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.

Dear Prospective Student,
We have been alerted to concerns among parents and prospective students regarding studies in 2017. Apparently there is concern about the possibility that the UFS will not be in a position to register matriculants in 2017.
We would like to confirm that registration of new first-year students will continue in 2017. The UFS is furthermore committed to deliver the quality education for which we are known.
Please note that the closing date for applications is 31 October 2016. You can apply at http://www.ufs.ac.za/apply.
We look forward to welcoming you in 2017!
