University of Johannesburg - UJ Speciality : Accounting & Finance
programme: Accounting and Financial Management

UJ’s Accounting department, I believe, is one of the best in the country. The content is useful and the lecturers are helpful.

However, help will not come to you you will have to ask for it.
The only thing I disliked is some lecturers who simply read the slides in class and did very little to no explaining. Meaning that I had to watch additional Youtube videos to understand concepts.

As a student at UJ, my experience has been mostly positive, but like any university, it has its ups and downs. Most lecturers are knowledgeable and willing to help, but the quality of teaching varies. Some go above and beyond, while others just read off slides. Certain courses are well-structured, but in others, you’ll need to do a lot of self-study.UJ has a decent mix of international students, especially from other African countries. However, it’s not as globally recognized as Wits or Stellenbosch, so international exposure is limited. UJ has a vibrant campus life with plenty of clubs, events, and social activities. There’s always something happening, and the diverse student body makes for a lively atmosphere. Most buildings, libraries, and sports facilities are well-maintained. However, some older buildings need upgrades. WiFi can be unreliable at times, but overall, the facilities are decent. Most buildings, libraries, and sports facilities are well-maintained.
