UP recently hosted journalists from across South Africa on the UP in Motion Media Tour, offering a first-hand look at the University’s research excellence, innovation and impact.

Over two days, journalists explored research at Future Africa, innovation at Engineering 4.0, sport science at SEMLI and future-focused skills at our Digital Technologies Hub. The programme also included the Principal’s Concert, breakfast with our Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Prof Francis Petersen, and a visit to Mamelodi Campus to see how UP’s community projects are making a difference.

The tour provided valuable opportunities for conversation, connection and sharing the stories that demonstrate UP’s contribution to society.

UP continues to strengthen connections with the media while highlighting the people, ideas and innovations that are making a difference.

For Prof Hanli Stapela, a career in music has involved far more than performing what is written on a page. During her inaugural address, the Chair of UP’s Department of Music reflected on a career that has taken her from opera and concert stages across the world to teaching, research and academic leadership.

Graduates of UP’s Faculty of Education have worked hard to prepare for their teaching careers.

They’re ready to step into the classroom, inspire learners and make a difference. But for some, historical debt prevents them from receiving the degree certificates they’ve already earned. Your support can help remove that barrier and bring them one step closer to their classroom.

Help deliver more than a degree. Help deliver a future. Support here: https://upnet.up.ac.za/donations
