About

The University of Pretoria (UP) is a seven-campus public university with its largest campus in the heart of Hatfield, the picturesque diplomatic hub of South Africa’s capital city. We’re proud to stand among the world’s leading research universities.

Nestled in the purple haze of Pretoria’s iconic jacaranda trees, UP offers a high quality of teaching, learning and research expertise across all nine faculties, including South Africa’s only Faculty of Veterinary Science, and Africa’s top Faculty of Law and business school. We firmly believe that our success is measured not only by what we have already achieved, but how the actions we take today impact on our future and the future of the continent as a whole.

Our characteristic resolve and focussed commitment have seen us transform into a dynamic community of some of the world’s brightest minds, working together across disciplines to discover knowledge and find solutions to some of society’s most pressing concerns.

For us, UP is more than a university – it is a way of life that is underpinned by striving for excellence, giving back to society, and living a life that is ethical, understanding and caring towards everyone. Our graduates are critical and creative thinkers who are able to function seamlessly in a professional work environment while maintaining a strong commitment to contributing to South Africa by being socially responsible and active citizens.
