All academic activities have been suspended on all UFS campuses from 17 to 22 March 2021. No online/face-to-face lectures/tests/assignments will take place until 23 March 2021, and the full academic programme will resume on this date.
This decision will allow the university management an opportunity to address outstanding matters regarding the admission of senior undergraduate students.
Administrative activities will continue during this time and the campuses are not closed. The university management is aware that sporadic disruptions of activities by small groups are still taking place on the Bloemfontein Campus.
 
Protection Services, with the assistance of private security, remains on high alert and is closely monitoring the situation on the campuses. The necessary safety and security plan, as well as contingency plans, are in place.
 

Please monitor the university’s communication platforms for updates on any developments.

UFS Historian honoured
2009-10-30

 
Prof. André Wessels (pictured), a senior professor in and Chairperson of the University of the Free State’s Department of History, has been appointed as an extraordinary and distant Visiting Fellow at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra, Australia for two years; extraordinary and distant in the sense that he will not be physically working in Canberra, but will co-operate as far as possible with academic colleagues at ADFA, for example with regard to research. He is also welcome to visit ADFA at any stage. ADFA is a satellite campus of the University of New South Wales, and is regarded as one of the foremost military academies in the world. Apparently it is the first time that a South African scholar is honoured in this way.
