The university is very good and has good education, I enjoyed being there because even the environment is very good ,you just feel welcome. The level of education is very high meaning lecturers know they job in terms of educating
It is honestly a good institution but I feel like it can get better if it could work hand in hand with the students. What I don’t like talking from experience is the registration period every year whether first or second semester. As students we don’t get assistance on time leading to us being behind with our school work, some to even failing the module(s). To add on that ADOs, finance staff, as well as the housing staff TAKE THEIR OWN SWEET TIME TO ASSIST US!!. I would recommend this institution obviously if you want to see and experience the beautiful province of KZN but all I can say is be prepared to booking appointments with the psychologist for the rest of your study period in UKZN.
