The University of South Africa (Unisa), the only higher education institution to carry the name of the country, is the people's university in every sense of the word.
Ten catalytic niche areas have been identified that will hopefully activate and enhance Unisa's academic agenda, but also enhance academics' experiences as engaged scholars who will care to address the needs of our society.
We are a reputable, flexible and accessible comprehensive, open, distance and e-Learning institution that is motivating a future generation. We offer internationally accredited qualifications and have world-class resources. Our vision "towards the African university shaping futures in the service of humanity" drives us to find answers to Africa's educational and developmental problems.
The three core business areas of Unisa are teaching, research and engaged scholarship. Our world-class research is spearheaded by the Research, Postgraduate Studies, Innovation and Commercialisation portfolio. Our engaged scholarship efforts are cohered by our Engaged Scholarship division. We also place great importance on the celebration and promotion of our African arts and culture through various endeavours.
Management at Unisa is ultimately responsible for creating an environment and culture that is conducive to the attainment of the university’s vision to be the African university shaping futures in the service of humanity. Part of this responsibility lies in determining the mission, values, goals, objectives, strategies and policies that will safeguard and promote this vision.
Offering study opportunities to over 370 000 students from across South Africa, Africa and other parts of the world, Unisa offers a diverse choice of study fields at levels from certificate to degree.
