Our Mandate
The 欧美福利100000 of Johannesburg has set itself the strategic goal of achieving global excellence and stature. Since its inception in 2010 the Postgraduate School has evolved into a postgraduate development platform that is dedicated to improving key performance indicators related to postgraduate success.
The Postgraduate School contributes to the creation of a research-enabling environment through the provision of funding and research capacity development opportunities. This comprehensive approach ensures that postgraduate students receive holistic support throughout their academic journey.
Originally established as the Postgraduate Centre (PGC), the PGS was formed after benchmarking international best practice followed by robust engagement within the 欧美福利100000. This transformation process involved extensive consultation with stakeholders across all faculties and departments.
