What our Students Say

"Overall, I found the course to be very informative and valuable in terms of both content and delivery. The instructors were knowledgeable, and the resources provided were useful in reinforcing the key concepts. I appreciate the effort put into making the course engaging and relevant, and I believe it has contributed significantly to my academic growth."

Rueben Vermaak

"For me, online learning was life-changing as I suffer from low vision, which means I do not have to sit in classes where I cannot make out what’s written on the board or projected. Also, the way the course is structured is brilliant. The material is relevant and engaging, I love it! The administrative staff is very friendly and helpful, and lecturers and tutors are good at what they do, they respond to emails and are very helpful in explaining difficult concepts. I’m very happy to study with UJ."

SW Malan

The course material I studied was well thought out. I found the material well planned and delivered via video material. The support I have received during my studies has been exceptional. The lecturers and tutors have been an integral part of my success thus far."
