The University of Limpopo (UL), which was established with a college status in 1959, has transformed into one of Africa’s most innovative universities, offering highly competitive and industry-relevant qualifications.
Our Programme Qualification Mix (PQM) responds to the developmental needs of communities and epitomises academic excellence and innovativeness.
Popularly known as Turfloop, UL was the first institution in South Africa to establish a medical school since the advent of democracy. It eventually produced the country’s youngest medical doctor. The Institution also launched a cathode materials centre, South Africa’s first pilot plant in manganese beneficiation, a R30-million investment to tap into the country’s manganese ore reserves and energy storage. South Africa has 80% of the world’s high-grade manganese ore reserves. This resource has enormous potential for mineral beneficiation in the country.
It responds to the needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and the Internet of Things (IoT). These are a few of many other programmes and centres at UL that respond actively to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). The University of Limpopo not only produces highly competitive graduates but also unleashes entrepreneurs into the world’s challenging economic environment. Among the programmes that support student entrepreneurship, there are various centres of excellence, ranging from agro-food processing to ideation hubs.
