2013 Annual Report

Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) is constituted of seven faculties located across six campuses, five in Port Elizabeth (Eastern Cape) and one in George (Western Cape). The student complement for 2013 totalled 26 411 and an average permanent staff complement of 1 699. NMMU, as a comprehensive university, provides a diverse range of educational opportunities across general-formative, professional/vocational and career-oriented academic programmes, and is ideally positioned to facilitate the integration of post-school education and training
via alternative access routes such as articulation and recognition of prior learning. These programmes, together with our co-curricular activities, provide our students with a holistic learning experience, both within and beyond the classroom, to develop the necessary professional competence and capacity to navigate the challenges of life and work as responsible citizens of the twenty-first century.
