The University of Pretoria’s Law programme has ranked number 1 in SA and in Africa.
UP Vice-Chancellor and Principal Professor Tawana Kupe said this ranking was an acknowledgement of the work that goes into making academic programmes a success.
“The past 20 months have been challenging for us all, and especially for those of us in higher education, as we had to come up with innovative ways to keep the academic programming going, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic,” he said. “This result is an affirmation that while we had to migrate to remote emergency online teaching and learning, the quality of our academic programme was not sacrificed.
UP’s business and economics, computer science, and agriculture and forestry subjects were ranked second in South Africa. UP’s life sciences, biological sciences, sports sciences, electrical and electronic engineering, and mechanical and aerospace engineering programmes all ranked third in South Africa.
Professor Elsabe Schoeman, dean of UP’s Faculty of Law, said the faculty’s programme being ranked number one in Africa and in the top 100 globally was proof of the quality and commitment of staff and students. Schoeman said: “UP Law’s continuous THE ranking as the top law programme in Africa and in the top 100 globally bears proof of the excellent quality and commitment of staff, students and alumni, and despite the huge impact of Covid since March 2020 to date.
