Which faculties and programmes does the University of Limpopo offer?

Updated

The University of Limpopo (ul.ac.za) is organised into four faculties: Health Sciences, Humanities, Science & Agriculture, and Management & Law. Its qualifications and programmes are described on the site as DHET-accredited, meaning they are recognised under South Africa's Department of Higher Education and Training. To see what is available in a given field, start from the faculty sections on the homepage and follow each faculty's "Read more" link.

The four faculties at a glance

Faculty What the site says it covers
Health Sciences Supports academic work that seeks to strengthen the advancement of Science, Engineering, and Technology.
Humanities Describes itself as not immune to the market forces influencing the privatisation and commercialisation of education.
Science & Agriculture Offers fourteen DHET-accredited undergraduate programmes: seven in the SAES and seven shared among the other three schools.
Management & Law Advances scholarship in teaching, innovative research and relevant community engagement.

The faculty descriptions are brief and differ in emphasis, so treat them as a starting point rather than a full programme catalogue. Science & Agriculture is the only faculty where the site states a specific programme count.

How to browse programme details

  1. Open the University of Limpopo homepage at ul.ac.za.
  2. Locate the faculty you are interested in among the four faculty blocks.
  3. Select "Read more" on that faculty to reach its own pages.
  4. Look for the faculty's programme or qualification listings there, and check the accreditation status stated for each qualification.

The homepage itself carries news, announcements and event notices rather than a consolidated list of every qualification, so the faculty pages are where programme-level detail sits.

What to check before you apply

  • Accreditation: the site presents its qualifications as DHET-accredited; confirm this for the specific programme you want rather than for the university as a whole.
  • Undergraduate vs postgraduate: the stated count of fourteen applies to Science & Agriculture's undergraduate programmes only. Other faculties and postgraduate offerings are not quantified on the homepage.
  • Entry requirements and closing dates: these are programme-specific and are not given in the homepage material, so verify them on the relevant faculty page or with the university before submitting an application.

The homepage includes an "APPLY HERE" entry point for applications, but it does not state fees, funding or application deadlines.
