Sol Plaatje University is one of two universities created in the democratic era. We are critically engaged in learning, research, and development, while enhancing democratic practice and social justice in society. During our first seven years of existence, we have successfully positioned ourselves to be: - A site of learning, research, and culture where we endeavour towards excellence and embedded in quality academic process. - An engaged social participant which gives expression to democratic practice, seized with the challenges facing society, and enable participation in social, cultural, and economic life. - A knowledge economy leader that facilitates knowledge for development and economic advancement locally, regionally, and nationally. - A university in Africa that is integrally connected to African issues and engages in projecting knowledge globally. We have established ourselves as a scientific centre for data and analytics; as a seat for humanities that stands out in the fields of heritage, anthropology, archaeology and African languages as a node in teacher education across all phases, with a specialisation in mathematics, language teaching and curriculum development. We are also an emerging hub for management sciences and entrepreneurship. We offer undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in Economic & Management Sciences, Education, Humanities and Natural & Applied Sciences.
