University of South Africa Foundation (ZA)

Africa's leading open distance learning institution

Africa's leading open distance learning institution The University of South Africa Foundation was established to support the University of South Africa (UNISA), Africa's biggest open distance learning institution, offering both undergraduate and postgraduate studies across many academic disciplines. UNISA is the largest open-distance e-learning institution in Africa and the longest-standing dedicated distance education university in the world. We enroll nearly one-third of all South African students. We offer an unparalleled range of study choices, ranging from short courses and certificate programs to three-and four-year degrees and diplomas, with close to 400,000 current students. As one of the leading research institutions on the continent, our research efforts have won us numerous awards, recognitions, and honors. Given our rootedness in South Africa and the African continent, UNISA today can truly claim to be the African university shaping futures in the service of humanity. The year 2023 marks an important milestone for the university. Born in 1873, UNISA is celebrating 150 years of providing quality teaching and learning by Reclaiming Africa's Intellectual Futures . Investing in the future of the Unisa student Having kicked off those celebrations, the university is always mindful of investing in the future of its students, many of whom are from indigent backgrounds. The UNISA student needs your donations and support in a form of student bursaries to progress to the next level, graduate, exit the university system and define tomorrow. Donate to the Unisa learning device program Approximately 150 000 Unisa students need laptops or tablets to continue to succeed in their studies. While transforming UNISA into a leading ODeL university where teaching and learning will be primarily online, it is vital to continue to support students with a digitized learning environment.
