vista university colleges pretoria 2024-2025

In order to ensure that urban black South Africans desiring a university education could do so in townships rather than on campuses allocated for other population groups, the apartheid government of South Africa built Vista University in 1981.

CAMPUSES

Its campuses were located in Bloemfontein, Daveyton (East Rand), Mamelodi, Port Elizabeth, Sebokeng, Soweto, and Welkom. The administrative offices of the VUDEC Distance Education Campus were located in Pretoria.

The following list of undergraduate courses at Vista University and the University of Pretoria is provided.

Mamelodi Campus

The Mamelodi Campus of the erstwhile Vista University was incorporated into the University of Pretoria in compliance with a national government decree issued on January 2, 2004. The famous BSc and BCom Extended Curriculum Programs at the University of Pretoria’s first year are held on the Mamelodi Campus (ECPs).
For the first year of their studies, students accepted into the ECPs on the Mamelodi Campus receive lectures there. Students who successfully complete the admission requirements for their chosen study program transfer to the faculty of their choice at the Hatfield Campus or any other campus of the University of Pretoria to continue and complete their chosen program of studies, such as the faculty of health sciences, the faculty of veterinary sciences, or the faculty of education.
These students immediately become alumni of the University of Pretoria’s Mamelodi Campus after beginning their academic careers there, and they also become alumni of the University of Pretoria after successfully completing their degree programs.
