Academic excellence is at the centre of all we do at UP. We strive to do all we can to ensure that all our students live up to their potential therefore we offer a wide range of services to support students. Your success is important to us. I encourage you to use the first few weeks of the year to familiarise yourself with the services, technology and facilities available at UP and when in doubt, do not hesitate to ask for assistance.

A UP qualification will give you a strong platform for launching your career. At UP we take pride in offering a holistic education so in addition to the formal academic programmes, there are opportunities to participate in community service, arts, music and sport. Your future begins today. I urge you to use your time wisely; keep focussed on your academic goals whilst ensuring that you lead a healthy, balanced life so that your dreams may become reality.
