This year, the graduation ceremony took on a new format, which aimed to visibly honour students, who completed their studies successfully, for their hard work. The highest number of qualifications (3 674) in the history of the UFS was presented during the graduation this week.

An honourary doctorate in Drama and Theatre arts was awarded to theatre stalwart, Mr Pieter Fourie on Wednesday, 11 May 2011.
