Community engagement is our way of using our skills, knowledge and research to make a difference and uplift communities around South Africa. We have a long and proud history of aligning our curriculum across all our faculties with pressing social needs in our communities. Thousands of our students apply their passion and skills on a daily basis to solve real-world problems with their academic knowledge.
The Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences are not only committed to being a catalyst for the bettering of lives within our institution, but also care for the various communities around us.
