Our Legacy: Building a Diverse and Inclusive Institution
Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence and Innovation
Born out of the integration of Rand Afrikaans University (RAU), Technikon Witwatersrand (TWR), and portions of Vista University, UJ was founded on the principles of inclusivity and transformation. This merger was a bold step in South African higher education, ensuring that students from all backgrounds could access quality education in an environment that values diversity and innovation.
Since its establishment in 2005, the University of Johannesburg (UJ) has stood as a symbol of progress, innovation, and transformation in the higher education landscape. Over the last two decades, UJ has redefined what it means to be a world-class African university, achieving milestones that have placed it at the forefront of academia, research, and community impact.
