Disruption of academic activities occurred on the Bloemfontein, South, and Qwaqwa campuses of the University of the Free State (UFS) on 1 and 2 August 2023.

The university management is aware that the protest action has impacted our students’ academic programme, as well as academic and support service activities on the campuses.

Here is a message to staff and students from Prof Francis Petersen, Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the UFS, about the events of the past two days: https://vimeo.com/kovsies/fromthevc

Staff member winner in SAASTA competition
2009-12-17

Mr Hannes Pieterse from the Division: Strategic Communications at the University of the Free State (UFS) was recently announced as a category winner in the SA Science Lens competition of the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA).

The category that Mr Pieterse has won – the Special Award for Science Promotion – is a new addition to the competition.

One of Mr Pieterse’s hobbies is photography. He took the photograph at a science exhibition expo of the Astronomy Society of Bloemfontein last year. The photo titled Eish, the tension! is of a young girl busy with a physics experiment. With this experiment she shows how surface tension works in soapy water.
