Best Short Courses

I recently complete the UCT marketing short online course in partnership with Getsmarter. I had a fantastic experience. I would recommend this to anyone. It take Up to 3 month to complete the course. There is a variety to chose from. It is great to help you advance in your career but it will not take years to complete. Great way to equip yourself in different areas and definitely worth the money you spent. Great tutors as well

Top Notch

This is the best university ever. The students' wellbeing are their top priority. During the fire that occurred at the campus, resulting in facilities such as res and libraries badly burned. The university took it upon themselves to sent us to private accommodation where they paid for our stay. I will never forget that experience and will always be grateful for what UCT has done!

Amazing Experience

It promotes inclusivity in that it allows students to freely express who they are , and not be judged while at it, this was through the different societies on campus, that one could freely join with no restrictions. All religions were fully accommodated, and I very much loved that. In a nutshell, like I said earlier UCT is Safe space type of University.
