Top 10 Best Universities in South Africa 2016 - Page7

#7 Rhodes University - Grahamstown

Named after Cecil John Rhodes – founder of what we now know as Zimbabwe as well as the diamond company De Beers – Rhodes University is one of the smaller, with around 7,000 students, yet most diverse institutions.
Located in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape, it’s a popular student exchange destination—international students from close to 60 countries across the globe fill up a quarter of the classrooms. It also allows for a favourable staff to student ratio, on average one lecturer to 15 students.

Rhodes is also home to the International Library of African Music (ILAM), an institution dedicated to the study and preservation of the continents’ music and oral arts. It boasts an extensive collection that is said to be the “greatest repository of African music in the world”.The university’s school of Journalism and Media Studies is considered to be one of the best in the country, with many top journalists graduating from there.

The university is one of only two South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) accredited universities that achieved a 100 percent pass rate in 2014, with 40 of its students passing the initial test of competence (ITC) that same year.
