On behalf of the staff I wish to thank you for visting our website.

The University of Pretoria’s School of the Arts strives to be the academic locus in South Africa that produces the most distinguished postgraduate researchers, prolific creative talent and performing artists, and provide access and opportunity across demographics to all talented students from all South African communities who wish to maintain standards of excellence at UP and thereby make a contribution.

I hope you take the time to explore the information on our website which will introduce you to our different degree options, scholarship programmes, events and distinguished staff members.
