Recognition of our students is not only based on their qualifications, but also on their work ethic and ability to function independently, with perseverance and self-discipline, at the forefront. Unisa students tend to be more mature, can plan their studies around their work and still have time for family and other commitments. Self-discipline and time management are two of the skills required to study at Unisa – distance education may not be for everyone, but it may just be for you!
Imagine a flexible classroom that can be adjusted to fit into your schedule – your classroom can be wherever you are: a room at home, a desk at work, or a hotel room while you are on a business trip. As a modern distance-learning institution, Unisa uses the latest IT technology and integrate it into the learning process.
If you do not have a computer or internet access, you are not excluded from study! You may use any of our telecentres to access computer resources. Wherever you are in the world, as a Unisa student you are never alone. We offer a number of support services to our students, such as myUnisa, an online learning portal. We also offer online discussion forums, where you can chat to other students, your lecturers and content-specialist e-tutors. All students have access to career and study counsellors.
The Science Campus’s modern facilities and laboratory equipment position Unisa as one of the most advanced institutions in the country, on the African continent and globally. Attracting students and researchers from all over the world and having such cutting-edge equipment not only boosts Unisa’s research output, but also ensures that the University plays a central role in accelerating development in Africa.
