Courses Offered at University of South Africa (UNISA) for 2027
Public universityThe University of South Africa traces its roots to 1873 as the University of the Cape of Good Hope, and took its current form as a comprehensive open distance learning (ODL) institution after a 2004 merger with Technikon SA and Vista University. It is now one of the largest universities in Africa by student numbers, with the great majority of its students studying part-time while working. Because teaching is delivered through printed and online study material rather than physical lectures, students register centrally rather than attending a specific regional campus, though Unisa maintains a network of regional offices around the country for support, library access and exams. Its administrative head office and largest campus is on Muckleneuk Ridge in Pretoria.
