The open day is hosted to provide prospective students with academic information including admission requirements and career possibilities for all the programmes offered in the faculties of Economic and Management Sciences, Education, Health Sciences, The Humanities, Law, Natural and Agricultural Sciences and Theology and Religion.

The day also allows learners to see what life after school will be like and to get a feel of the Kovsie vibe on campus.

The open day invites prospective students to apply for 2019 undergraduate studies. Students must apply as soon as possible, as there are limited spaces in each programme. Application to study is free of charge. Prospective students must bring copies of their Grade 11 results and an ID as they can apply on the spot.

The programme for both Open Days has been streamlined to allow for more time in the faculties in order to gather the necessary academic information. Therefore, there will not be a collective welcoming programme on either campuses, however, the academic programme for the respective faculties can be visited directly from 09:00. There will, however, be two welcoming and information sessions by the Dean of each faculty that is set to take place from 09:00 to 10:00 and 11:00 to 12:00. All exhibitions are open from 09:00 until 15:00.

A special meet-and-greet with the Rector and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Francis Petersen, will also take place. He invites teachers, principals and parents to engage with him from 12:00 till 14:00 on the Bloemfontein Campus. If you would like to make use of this opportunity, RSVP by 10 May 2018 to 051-401-3384/9028 or to greylinl@ufs.ac.za or bakkese@ufs.ac.za.

Detailed information is available on the website, www.ufs.ac.za. The programme is also available, but the Gateway Crew will be at all the entrances handing out the programmes. You can also contact 051-401-3384/9028 if you are unsure about anything.
