Student review [#97885] for Economics and Business
at University of South Africa - UNISA

As a UNISA student, I’d say it’s a solid choice, especially if you need flexibility. UNISA makes it possible to study while working, running a business, or managing family responsibilities, which is a huge advantage for me. The online platform (myUnisa) is generally easy to use, and most study materials are well-structured and clear enough to guide you even if you’re studying on your own. The tuition fees are more affordable compared to many other universities, and the qualifications are respected in South Africa and beyond. You really learn to become disciplined and independent, which is a valuable skill in the real world. Some lecturers are very responsive and helpful, especially during exam periods. That said, you do need patience. Administration can be slow at times, and feedback on assignments isn’t always immediate. If you’re someone who needs constant face to face support, it might feel challenging. Overall, UNISA is a great university for self-motivated students who want a recognised qualification and the freedom to study at their own pace.
