Every year, the University of Pretoria presents ChooseUP information day in person for parents and high school students. On August 17, 2024, the Faculty of Law threw out the red carpet to demonstrate its world-class facilities at the Hatfield Campus, hoping to impress, interest, and attract students to choose UP Law when applying for university admission.
ChooseUP Day presents prospective students with vital information on programs offered by several faculties at the University of Pretoria. UP Law is a leading law school in Africa and South Africa. Students who choose to study at UP Law can expect to be lectured by top-tier lecturers who are revered in their fields of expertise and have extensive experience shaping bespoke jurists, legal practitioners, policymakers, and researchers who can effectively promote social justice in their respective communities.
The University of Pretoria continues to improve the student and parent experience at ChooseUP Day by introducing interactive technological tools such as the App, digital event scheduling, SMS updates, consistent and up-to-date email communication, and virtual campus maps to assist with navigating directions and routes to the event. Onsite UP has an army of volunteers stationed at crucial areas to ensure that visitors have a great experience and can readily get assistance.
During ChooseUP Day, Professor Themba Mosia, the University's interim Vice-Chancellor and Principal, spoke with students about the UP Way and provided an overview of UP academic programs. The various faculty deans also have the opportunity to present their exceptional, future-oriented programs and demonstrate the cutting-edge facilities housed at our various campuses, as well as to highlight the innovative developments available or being explored by the various faculties and to present the world-class education opportunities available at UP.
UP Law takes pride in helping to generate excellent graduates who can prosper both locally and worldwide. Because our students' success is important, the University and the Faculty of Law, as well as support units and divisions, create a stimulating and academically supportive environment to prepare our graduates for the future workplace, as well as expose them to a variety of extramural arts, culture, and sporting activities in which they can participate to help them grow and develop as individuals beyond academic excellence.
Some of the highlights of 2024 ChooseUP Day for parents and learners were a walk-through of the OR Tambo Law Library, a mock trial demonstration at the well-resourced Moot Court, a showcase of our learning facilities, a mini exhibition and interactions with all nine law student societies, engagements with our six academic departments, an overview address by Prof Elsabe Schoeman, the Dean of the Faculty, and an outline of the Faculty at Glance presented by the Deputy Dean, Prof Charles Maimela, offering students a glimpse of student life at UP Law.
