University of the Western Cape

Got nothing short of beautiful memories. Such a lovely institution with state of art facilities. One thing that stood out for me was the cleanines around the university and the top notch security. The university has a lot of world class infrastructure ranging from sports playing areas, lecture halls to mention but a few. Staff are extremely welcoming as well.

My Anywhoo's... It's been a while since I've been back at UWC as a student . Well, everything still looks the same. Some construction happening ‍. But anyways, it was a ghost town. Security is still the same, obviously... The School of Governance looks a bit run down. Apparently since the "Fees must Fall" Era. Other than that, same old same old. Actually got a parking , that says alot. So.. And Until next time...

UWC- undoubtedly worst center of learning. That's the meaning. No one answers theirs phones, no correspondence via emails. Been struggling for 3 months to get my refund from this university. Would never ever send my kids this university nor would I give any good recommendations. Uttery disgusted in how they demanded their money in the beginning and now we have to beg for our refund. Not right amd unfair. Think a million times before paying money to this institution. Know for a fact you want to study here.

On entering you need to provide your vaccine card. Clean spaces and easy registration process Adequate parking spots Helpful and friendly staff

It was an exiting day with the Fitness and Wellness Awareness Day. The food was delicious. With braai chicken , sausage. and healthy salads with bottled minral water

My PhD supervisor comitted academic fraud against me and I wasted an entire year working on a PhD which she submitted at uj as her own. She never submitted any of my work to UWC and was emotionally abusive towards me. She went as far as forcing me to be her research participant and Psychologically abusing me. I was unknowingly answering her research questions and doing her PhD as she would submit my work at uj. I was begged not to report it to the HPCSA but today I am suffering because my profile was blocked due to the lack of submissions. I have been unable to register and have only now had my profile activated. I am first year all over again because nothing I did last year was accounted for. Totally appalling and harmful to students mental health and finances. Please review your employees mental health so as not to expose us to narcissistic personalities. Totally unacceptable and would never ever recommend this university

I am absolutely disappointed with the way this university operates when it comes to dealing with the regsistration of returning students. My friend had to register for a completely different degree after spending 3 years studying Accounting. Even though it was the University that had "lost" his marks and therefore decided to do absolutely nothing about it. Bare in mind the constant driving up and down to try and sort this issue out, yet someone was always "in a meeting" Very DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!

I did enjoy the topography and the scenery. UWC is one of the best university in South Africa.

The campus is quite big and you must know where your going. Staff is very helpful.The premises are clean and you don't see any litter anywhere.

The security guards at the entrance are absolutely disgusting and rude. I went to visit a friend who lives in Kovacs and the residence has their own set of rules different from the UWC residences. Kovacs is allowed visitors till 23:30 and that’s how it’s always been. These security guards did not want to let me inside and they really put my safety at risk. They failed to understand that I’m a woman in a dangerous area standing outside late at night and need to be at least protected, as their jobs should entail. They lied and said they were going to call the Kovacs security to double-check the visitation hours which they didn’t and made me wait outside with my friend for over an hour. I eventually had to leave because it was getting too late and they were still not letting us in. Even after I left, they refused to let my friend back in even though he is a UWC student that lives in res on campus. Very unprofessional!
