University of Johannesburg
About Us:
The University of Johannesburg was established on 1 January 2005. It is the result of the incorporation of the Soweto and East Rand campuses of Vista University into the Rand Afrikaans University - which took place on 1 January 2004 - and the merger of the Rand Afrikaans University (into which the two Vista campuses had been incorporated) and the Technikon Witwatersrand on 1 January 2005, to create the University of Johannesburg (UJ).
With the exception of the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture, which offers vocational and professional programmes only, all of the faculties offer a mixture of formative degree and vocational certificate and diploma programmes, although the mix differs substantially across the faculties. Some of the faculties offer predominantly formative degree programmes, while others offer predominantly vocational programmes. One of the major advantages of being a comprehensive institution is the opportunity it offers to students to articulate between formative and vocational programmes and therefore the opportunity it offers to the institution to curriculate creatively and to offer a variety of academic and career pathways. All faculties offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

Alumni
The Alumni Affairs Office operates to create an interactive network of all UJ Alumni that will promote lifelong learning and mutually beneficial partnerships. It serves to create opportunities for alumni to participate in alumni programmes and provides the administrative structure necessary to initiate, plan, manage and evaluate activities and services, arousing interest, establishing loyalty, increasing involvement and generating sustained support for UJ.
International
The Internationalisation Office, in consultation with the academic sector, facilitates the negotiation and establishment of creative and extensive cooperation agreements with selected international universities to enhance the competitive edge of the University. The Office takes responsibility for international visiting delegations to and from the University. It further ensures that the provisions of agreements are complied with and conducts evaluation of UJ needs for sustained collaboration agreements.
Development
The Development Unit selectively aligns external partners to key focus projects within the Institution. Successful initiatives at UJ are resource-dependant and Development strives to enhance this capacity to ensure sustainability and uphold the legacy of our proud Institution.
Community Engagement
The Community Engagement Office is responsible for identifying, promoting and coordinating community engagement initiatives. It does not manage projects but raises internal and external awareness of community engagement, and collates and records institutional community engagement information. The Office facilitates sustainable partnerships with communities and facilitates training in service learning, community-based research and organized outreach, and it assists with identifying funding opportunities for selected community engagement projects.
