University of Johannesburg, Public university in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The University of Johannesburg is a public institution in Johannesburg, South Africa, spread across four different campuses. It offers degree programs in fields such as engineering, health sciences, business and the humanities to more than fifty thousand students.
The institution was formed in 2005 when Rand Afrikaans University, Technikon Witwatersrand and two Vista University campuses merged into a single entity. This brought together different academic traditions and educational philosophies under one roof.
Classes and seminars here are taught in English, Afrikaans and other South African languages, reflecting the daily mix of voices on campus. Students from neighboring African countries sit alongside local learners in lecture halls and shared study spaces.
Visitors can access information about admissions and services through digital platforms, including a WhatsApp-based help system. Each of the four campuses has its own opening hours and help desks for general inquiries.
The institution publishes research findings through an open access model, allowing articles to be read without paywalls. More than three hundred researchers hold national ratings and are officially listed.
