List of universities in South Africa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Location ofSouth Africa

This is alist of universities inSouth Africa. In this list, colleges and universities are defined as accredited, degree-granting, tertiary institutions. As of September 2022, only South African public degree-granting institutions may call themselves a "university", whereas other accredited private for-profit or not-for-profit degree-granting institutions tend to call themselves colleges, institutes or business schools.[1]

Some of these private institutions are localcampuses of foreign universities. Degree-granting institutions (both public and private) must be registered with, and have their specific degree programs accredited by, the Council on Higher Education.

In 2004South Africa started reforming its public higher education system,[2] merging and incorporating small public universities into larger institutions, and renaming all higher education institutions "university" (previously there had been several types of higher education institution). The country's universities and "technikons", which were incorporated with others and thus no longer exist, are listed at the end of the article.

Two new universities launched in 2013,[3]Sol Plaatje University and theUniversity of Mpumalanga. They are tentatively classified in theuniversities of technology category, pending clarification of their programs.

Public universities

[edit]

Public universities inSouth Africa are divided into three types: traditional universities, which offer theoretically oriented university degrees;universities of technology ("technikons"), which offervocational oriented diplomas and degrees; and comprehensive universities, which offer a combination of both types of qualification.[4][5]
