University of Johannesburg
Vibrant, multicultural and dynamic, the University of Johannesburg (UJ) shares the pace and energy of cosmopolitan Johannesburg, the city whose name it carries. Proudly South African, the university is alive down to its African roots, and well-prepared for its role in actualising the potential that higher education holds for the continent’s development. UJ has transformed into a diverse, inclusive, transformational and collegial institution, with a student population of over 50 000, of which more than 3000 are international students from 80 countries. This makes UJ one of the largest contact universities in South Africa (SA) from the 26 public universities that make up the higher education system.
On January 1, 2005, the inception of the University of Johannesburg transpired following an extensive two-year negotiation process. The amalgamation of the Department of Communication at RAU (Rand Afrikaans University) and the Department of Public Relations Management at the Technikon Witwatersrand (TWR) was a pivotal facet of the institutional merger between RAU and TWR. This strategic consolidation aimed to enhance the professional alignment and cohesion within the newly established university.
