More than 4 200 first-year students are enrolled in the core curriculum UFS101 at the UFS this year, doubling the number of students in 2012. The course has been specially designed to equip students with a social and intellectual advantage in addition to their specialist degrees. This year about 150 students on the Qwaqwa Campus are taking part in a pilot programme of UFS101 and there is a possibility that it will also be presented in Kimberley from 2014. Students have the opportunity to be lectured by top “lecturers”. One of them, Judge Cagney J (front row, left), Judge of the Free State High Court, lectured on the Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa Campuses in March 2013.
