Vibrant, multicultural and dynamic, the University of Johannesburg (UJ) shares the pace and energy of cosmopolitan Johannesburg, the city whose name it carries. Proudly South African, the university is alive down to its African roots, and well-prepared for its role in actualising the potential that higher education holds for the continent’s development. UJ has transformed into a diverse, inclusive, transformational and collegial institution, with a student population of over 50 000, of which more than 3000 are international students from 80 countries. This makes UJ one of the largest contact universities in South Africa (SA) from the 26 public universities that make up the higher education system.

The vision of the UJ is to be “an international University of choice, anchored in Africa, dynamically shaping the future”. The mission can be described as follows: “inspiring its community to transform and serve humanity through innovation and the collaborative pursuit of knowledge”. These are underpinned by four values, namely: imagination, conversation, regeneration and ethical foundation. The six strategic objectives provide a focused means for realising the Vision, Mission and Values of the University as set out above. They further represent a re-working of the original UJ Strategic Thrusts 2020 in the context of a wider positioning of the University as “The Pan-African” Centre for Critical Intellectual Inquiry, with the primary goal of achieving global excellence and stature.

The Mpedi Neurodiversity Studies Scholarship

The Mpedi Neurodiversity Studies Scholarship, established by Vice-Chancellor and Principal Professor Letlhokwa Mpedi and his family, supports students pursuing Master’s research focused on the neurodevelopmental needs of children and youth. Led by Professor Maximus Monaheng Sefotho, the Centre for Neurodiversity at UJ advances research targeting these needs, with a special emphasis on the health and well-being of children with Down Syndrome. This initiative reflects the Mpedi Family's dedication to transforming societal views on neurodiversity. It highlights the importance of addressing the educational needs of neurodiverse children through understanding and inclusivity. Beyond providing financial aid, the scholarship is a key part of the Centre’s mission to tackle global challenges in neurodiversity, aiming to foster a more inclusive and empathetic society through impactful research.
