Looking to the future
The next chapter
The next chapter is ours to write
We have trained health professionals for seven decades, growing from a small intake into one of the largest health sciences faculties in sub-Saharan Africa. Our student body looks nothing like it did when the doors first opened, with students now coming from every province and beyond. That mix shapes how they learn, how they treat patients, and where they go on to work once they qualify.
If you're weighing up a career in the health sciences, we train in medicine, physiotherapy, dietetics, speech-language pathology and more, and we've been doing it for 70 years.
The people who will write the next chapter.
