Overview

The University of Pretoria (UP) was established in 1908 with just four professors and 32 students, in a little house called Kya Rosa. Today, it is one of the largest research universities in South Africa. UP has transformed into a dynamic university community of staff and students who come from a range of diverse backgrounds and cultures showcasing South African and global societies.

UP is continuously transforming the corporate and research landscape through innovative thinking and the high calibre of their graduates. More than a quarter of a million alumni have passed through their doors. Many are on the path to success, while others have already become leaders in their fields both locally and internationally. UP has grown to become one of the top universities on the continent.
