UNIVERSITY OF JOHANNESBURG
The Faculty of Science prides itself in its vibrant,
dynamic and diverse scientific community of scholars
who are passionate about enhancing the learning
experience of students, enhancing the research
profile of the University and enhancing the academic,
social and economic impact of the Faculty’s teaching
and research programmes.
Innovative education, internationally competitive research,
as well as socially aware community development, are
integrated into a dynamic synergy. We provide outstanding
service to our students with regards to teaching and
learning programmes, state-of-the-art facilities, in-service
training and an environment that is conducive to life-long
learning. Four year programmes are offered as alternative
access routes to students who require them. Academic
support and mentorship programmes are also provided
to students who need additional guidance and assistance.
Our students are in great demand in the business sector
and contribute significantly to the relevant industries.
The Faculty is an active player in a wider network of
national and international partnerships and collaborations.
Joint Postgraduate degrees with many European
Universities through the Erasmus Mundus programme of
the Netherlands and with Tohoku University in Japan serve
as examples. With regard to undergraduate programmes,
we are proud that UJ holds accreditation from the BCS:
The Chartered Institute for IT (in the United Kingdom), for
our BSc degree programmes in Information Technology.
Our Actuary Science programme is also accredited by the
Actuarial Society of South Africa (ASSA).
Our partnerships with prestigious institutions are
testimony to the high esteem that our staff, students
and programmes enjoy in the national and international
community. Each year, several staff members and students
receive national and international acclaim for research and
other academic achievements on Postgraduate level. The
Faculty is particularly proud that it has unique state-of-the-
art analytical research facilities, e.g. Spectrum, which house
multi-user analytical instrumentation. It is evident from all
of the above that the Faculty of Science is fully committed
to realising all of its ideals.
