#4 University of Pretoria (UP) - Pretoria


The University of Pretoria (locally known as “Tuks / Tukkies” due to its previous name, Transvaal University College) is considered one of the leading research universities in South Africa and is also one of the largest largest in the country. It has grown from a four-bedroom residential property with just over 30 students in the early 1900s, to over 50,000 students today.
The university now offers more than 1,800 programs at its main campus located in the country’s capital and at its other campus spread across the province. It will also become the first university in Africa to offer simulated underground mining training at a Virtual Reality Mine Design Centre. The $1.7 million project will simulate a range of mining functions, including accident reconstruction and risk analysis. UP is also home to the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS), one of the country’s leading Business Schools, which offers internationally accredited MBA programs.
