About University of Johannesburg
Vibrant, multicultural and dynamic, the University of Johannesburg (UJ) shares the pace and energy of cosmopolitan Johannesburg, the city whose name it carries. Proudly South African, the university is alive down to its African roots, and well-prepared for its role in actualising the potential that higher education holds for the continent’s development. UJ has transformed into a diverse, inclusive, transformational and collegial institution, with a student population of over 50 000, of which more than 3000 are international students from 80 countries. This makes UJ one of the largest contact universities in South Africa (SA) from the 26 public universities that make up the higher education system.
The vision of the UJ is to be “an international University of choice, anchored in Africa, dynamically shaping the future”. The mission can be described as follows: “inspiring its community to transform and serve humanity through innovation and the collaborative pursuit of knowledge”. These are underpinned by four values, namely: imagination, conversation, regeneration and ethical foundation. The six strategic objectives provide a focused means for realising the Vision, Mission and Values of the University as set out above. They further represent a re-working of the original UJ Strategic Thrusts 2020 in the context of a wider positioning of the University as “The Pan-African” Centre for Critical Intellectual Inquiry, with the primary goal of achieving global excellence and stature.
The six strategic objectives are:
- Excellence in Research and Innovation
- Excellence in Teaching and Learning
- An International Profile for Global Excellence and Stature (GES)
- An Enriching Student-Friendly Learning and Living Experience
- National and Global Reputation Management
- Fitness for Global Excellence and Stature (GES)
Recognised as the country’s second strongest brand, UJ offers world-class, internationally recognised academic programmes based on curricula informed by cutting-edge developments in both undergraduate and postgraduate education, and that are designed to prepare students for the world of work and for global citizenship. Our curriculum is increasingly reflective of previously marginalised scholarship that talks to a transformation and decolonisation agenda, with Africa at its core.
The University has 7 faculties and a college viz., Education, Law, Humanities, Art, Design and Architecture, Health Sciences, Science, Engineering and the Built Environment as well as the College of Business and Economics, housing the newly established Johannesburg Business School. The University has four campuses, namely the Auckland Park Bunting Road Campus; the Auckland Park Kingsway Campus; the Doornfontein Campus; and the Soweto Campus.

The University of Johannesburg’s current Strategic Plan,UJ Strategic Plan 2025 for 2021, is a living document that guides and frames its activities at all levels of the organisation. It gives effect to the Mission of the University to inspire its community to transform and serve humanity through innovation and the collective and collaborative pursuit of knowledge. It provides the roadmap to achieving UJ’s Vision to be an international University of choice, anchored in Africa, dynamically shaping the future.
The 2025 UJ Strategic Plan is organised around 6 strategic objectives:
- Excellence in research and innovation
- Excellence in teaching and learning
- An international profile for Global Excellence and Stature (GES)
- An enriching student-friendly learning and living experience
- National and global reputation management
- Fitness for Global Excellence and Stature (GES)
The Global Excellence and Stature (GES) Strategy, conceived in 2014, and now in its second iteration known as GES 4.0, is a specific investment initiative to accelerate the achievement of the strategic objectives, and to position UJ as a leader in developing people and technology appropriate for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as it pertains to the African context. The UJ Strategic Plan underpins all endeavours at the University, and is incorporated in annual reporting processes, planning at faculty and division levels, and in the performance management system.
The 2021 UJ Strategic Plan, which is the latest annual version of the UJ Strategic Plan, incorporates 87 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in broader Key Performance Areas (KPAs), the vast majority of which, beyond new ones, have been tracked since 2013.
UJ aims to increase its stature and reputation through the quality, integrity and impact of its research endeavour, particularly as it engages with issues pertinent to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in the pan-African context.
In this regard, the UJ Strategic Plan guides postgraduate output, research productivity, research collaboration, research impact, research funding, and research capacity in terms of staffing. In terms of innovation, the Key Performance Areas (KPAs) monitored relate to applied technology-driven research and innovation, and revenue from commercialisation.
