The Qwaqwa Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) will reopen on 28 February 2022. The decision was made by the university management today after the campus was closed on 22 February 2022 due to violent protest action.
From 28 February 2022 to 4 March 2022, all classes will be presented online.
Students will be informed by their respective faculties about the model of academic delivery that will be followed from 7 March 2022.
The arrangement is estimated to continue for two to three weeks at the most, after which the academic programme will return to the approved teaching plans for 2022.

A senior delegation from Changchun Advanced Medical Institute (CAMI) in China recently visited the University of the Free State (UFS) to explore possibilities of cooperation, especially in nursing science. Areas of focus will include staff and student exchange, semester abroad programmes, collaborative research projects and capacity building initiatives in English proficiency and various other courses. The possibility for students from CAMI to pursue a post-basic bachelor’s degree programme at the UFS School of Nursing will also be explored. This will be one of the first formal agreements between the UFS and an institution in China. The agreement will be formalised during a reciprocal visit led by Prof. Letticia Moja (Dean: Faculty of Health Sciences at the UFS) to Changchun during September. Pictured here are, from the left: Dr Yuan Zhao Xin (International Communication, CAMI), Prof. Anita van der Merwe (Head of the UFS School of Nursing), Prof. Gert van Zyl (Head of the UFS School of Medicine), Prof. Dr Xin Li (Chief Secretary, CAMI), Dr Santie van Vuuren (Head of the School for Allied Health Professions at the UFS), Prof. Moja and Dr Aldo Stroebel (Head of Internationalisation at the UFS).
