UCT is made up of far more than just its buildings and campuses. It’s a university of people – the academics, researchers, PASS staff, students, alumni, local community members and other stakeholders that make the institution what it is. From the First-years Braai, where our new students came together on the Green Mile in January to tuck into a good old South African braai, to Chancellor Graça Machel, who officiated at her last graduation in December, these photos capture just some of the flavour of our increasingly diverse community.

The Newsroom and Publications unit releases an annual report, which is a review of activities on campus during the previous year. It spans nearly all aspects of UCT life, and includes reports from senior executives on issues such as governance, teaching and learning, research, social responsiveness, transformation and employment equity. Each year the report clearly illustrates clearly why UCT is held in such high regard in South Africa, Africa and across the globe.
