We want you to lead a balanced life in becoming an ethical, assertive and well-educated leader.

A student of the University of the Free State is called a Kovsie, and you study at Kovsies. This affectionate name reflects the long history of our institution when it started more than 100 years ago. We have created many proud traditions over these many years, and one of them is that we treat our students well.
With these words: Welcome to Kovsies!
