SPU Annual Report 2019

2019 saw Sol Plaatje University complete its sixth academic year since it was formally established in August 2013. In this relatively short period, the University has consolidated itself well as an important institution that positively impacts on the intellectual, cultural and social life in the city of Kimberley. 2019 also saw two important markers in this maturing phase of the University: the introduction of the first postgraduate programmes and total student enrolments growing close to the 2 000 mark.

This report presents the institutional, academic and operational development and performance of our University over the year. The report covers four broad areas of the operation of the University, which are as follows:
● Governance and institutional capacity development;
● Academic performance in enrolments, academic programme implementation and student development and performance;
● Development of infrastructure and facilities to support the growth of the University; and
● Financial management, performance and sustainability
