There are so many universities in South Africa that offer a wide range of professional courses which have helped raise many talents, both in the country and beyond. Among them is the University of Zululand, also known as UniZulu or Zululand University. The South African public tertiary institution is the only university that is located in the north of the Tugela River (which is in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province). The interesting thing about the University of Zululand courses is that they integrate career-focused courses alongside the normal university degree courses to have the students better prepared for the various careers they choose to pursue.
The school was founded in 1960 as the University College of Zululand. It began as a college affiliated with the University of South Africa, intended to cater to Swazi and Zulu students. At the time, it only had 41 students, of which 75 perfect were male and 25 percent were female. However, it was granted university status in 1970 and has grown impressively since then; attracting students from different countries all over Africa including Namibia, Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Cameroon, Kenya, Swaziland, and Tanzania, etc.
Interestingly, UniZulu integrates community service into its curriculum to help produce graduates capable of responding to social problems with the scholarly inquiry and are ready to contribute and build a better society. It is, for this reason, that UniZulu is in partnership with a number of schools and various agencies abroad – for the betterment of their students. Zululand University is currently in partnership with a number of schools in Europe and in the United States of America. Some of which include Radford University, Chicago State University, University of Mississippi, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University.
