Visitors

Welcome to the University of Pretoria. Our University is set across seven beautiful campuses, each with its own unique character. We have cutting-edge infrastructure, alongside majestic historic buildings, galleries, museums and theatres. We often host interesting public lectures which you may register to attend, where applicable. To access our campuses, you need confirmation of registration for an event or a visitor pass. Our cultural precinct on the South Campus in Hatfield is the soon to be home of the Javett UP which the public can access directly.
