The University of the Free State (UFS) is one of the oldest universities in South Africa; it opened its doors in Bloemfontein in 1904 as the Grey University College, with six students in The Humanities.

Today, Kovsies is a multi-campus institution with more than 39 000 students across two diverse campuses in Bloemfontein and one in Qwaqwa in the scenic Eastern Free State – with an ever-widening scope of active involvement in and contribution to its surrounding communities.

The university’s seven faculties (Economic and Management Sciences, Education, Health Sciences, The Humanities, Law, Natural and Agricultural Sciences, Theology and Religion) also attract a significant number of international students and associates.
