The Recue Simulation Centre has been designed to cater for teaching, learning, assessment and research of a multitude of specialised rescue disciplines. The four-storey structure will include a five-metre-deep pool for aquatic rescue and survival training, helicopter underwater egress/escape training (鈥淗UET鈥�), and dive rescue.
The Clinics provides accessible, community-focused healthcare while serving as a practical training platform for students. The clinics offer a range of services ensuring quality care for the public while advancing research and experiential learning.
Simulation is a learning environment that simulates reality, and the simulated scenarios happen in a predetermined way. The simulation training is important as learners are trained on teamwork, leadership and communication.
The UJ Pure Research Portal is the UJ鈥檚 centralized research information management system that brings together all academic profiles, publications, collaborations, and impact metrics into one accessible platform.
The Research Ethics Committee (REC) serves the research ethics needs of all staff and students in the faculty. This includes both qualification (undergraduate, masters and Doctoral) and non-qualification research. The REC does accept external applications in addition to Faculty research.
