Remembering UP’s graduation ceremonies: 10 May 2017

On this "Day in the life of the University of Pretoria" UP awarded 12 PhD degrees to students from the Faculty of Veterinary Science.

The newly graduated doctors represented three departments: six are from the Department of Paraclinical Sciences, five from the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases and one from the Department of Production Animal Studies. Graduates included Dr Charles Byaruhanga with a thesis entitled "Epidemiology and tick-borne haemoparasite diversity amongst transhumant zebu cattle in Karamoja region, Uganda" and Dr Alex Jambalang with the thesis entitled "Characterization and antimicrobial sensitivity of Salmonellae isolated from retailed hens' eggs in Tshwane district, Gauteng".

During the autumn 2024 graduation UP will confer more than 12 500 degrees. Many of the past graduation programmes, photographs and recollections are housed in the University of Pretoria Archives (UPA). The UPA preserves the history of the University of Pretoria and its numerous holdings include an extensive photo collection, as well as news clippings and histories detailing the growth and impact of the University.  Please contact us at [email protected] to share your Tukkies experiences, or visit the UPA reading room to view our collection
