Uinversity of cape town Reviews

It's a world class university in the most beautiful setting in the world.

It's beautiful with beautiful buildings embedded in the magnificent mountain

beautiful campus, good shuttle service for students with on-board wifi. in my short stay, it lived up to its reputation with both lecturers and students dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and making global impact.

Its reputation says it all. Amazing campus and great lecturers based on my experiences. Parking is an issue as there is very few parking vs staff and students. Online registration is ok but there is a few issues with it which gets ignored every year. These issues are not being addressed.

Pretty horrible administration for undergrad, but great for post-grads. Sees undergraduate students as a necessary evil to be tolerated. Other than the Administration it is pretty cool.

It's the world of the have's and have-not's...if you don't fall into the have category...you'll definitely be miserable.

A very good university. High quality education that is well respected. The most beautiful campus of any university I have ever seem with sweeping views over Cape Town.

Its a beautiful university to study at. There is a lot of cultural diversity there

Don't have any details but I only heard the best about this university and I would love to learn more about this university and also join as soon as I finish grade 12 (2021) .

Nice and Adorable(can you please help me to find work)

The beautiful Roman design is eye capturing. The stunning view is enticing and the city is liberating...

Such an awesome place to study and meet people from different walks of life with different views yet pursuing the same goal!!

It's on a moutain, it's got the views but also the leg workout. Does have a good transport service from various locations to the campus but can get crowded. Finding parking is a nightmare, but not impossible if you have the disk (still hard). Though I do like the old school vibe of the buildings.

Iconic University in Africa. The University of Cape Town is the oldest University in the Western Cape. It is a research institution.

UCT is currently ranked number 1 in Africa. UCT was found in 1828. World renowned heart surgeon Christian Bernard studied at UCT.

The University have various campuses in Cape Town.

This is what i actually learned when i was having wonderful holidays in U.C.T. A Psychometric tests which were described as follows, Psychometric tests are not like a regular tests as the answers cannot be learned off by heart. They are essentially timed aptitude tests. So what the employers want to know is what your natural ability is at a certain subject. While many employers assume the test cannot be practiced in advance of an interview, the truth is, it can. Given the strict tight time limitations for taking psychometric tests, if you did not practice beforehand, you will likely gain a very average score. What it boils down to is that even people who are very good at verbal reasoning or numeracy will do badly unless they have practiced their timing. Through practicing psychometric tests online, you can also gain an understanding of what the real test may look like and how it will operate giving you a little boost of confidence when taking the real test!
So what do you do in order to prepare for a psychometric test?
Take practice tests online which are timed. Keep practicing until you get a score you are happy with.
Buy books with practice psychometric tests and advice on how to take them. These are usually written by people who create the tests themselves, so they know what they are talking about.
Practice your skim and scan reading skills. This is especially important for verbal reasoning tests. You have to read and answer questions based on large pieces of text extremely quickly.

Its beautiful packed with lots of knowledge going there was not a mistake so that i can witness for myself the Number 1 university in Africa

Cool place i wish to get a scholarship and learn there .

The panoramic scenery of Cape Town from upper camped makes it a good place to visit especially during the Varsity Rugby tournament.

This university has a unique view and weather conditions along with a friendly environment.

Security at this place I don't know if it's good or bad but it's very frustrating

This place will give you all the kind of fun you are looking for, but at the same time you are expected to pass. If you find yourself here, don't be arrogant and assume that just because you got good marks at high school, university is going to be a breeze. Its not, it is hours of hard work and dedication. You need to start studying from day one. Set your self goals. Believe in yourself. Follow excellence and success will follow you. If you love sport like me, then you are still at a right place. I joined a chess team and it's been great you get a chance to meet one of the greatest chess players around the country. Have fun and enjoy in UCT. Surround yourself with few idiots, by idiots I mean people who always think out of the box. This place is one of the greatest ever. I can spend all day talking about UCT.

Vibrant, diverse and synergistic working environment

Excellent institute for higher learning. The place became unsafe during student strikes

I think its a really Good School for students to embrace there learning skills

Too stressed about making it back to your car in time in order to avoid a parking fine (complex parking rules)

Best number one University in Africa... and it is WORLD recognized.

Beautiful weather, beautiful view, beautiful people

This place used to be the jewel in our educational system, but now it's held hostage by hipsters and millennials, and this new breed of entitleds that have never worked for anything and their rich parents paying for their education, yet they are demanding free education at this education, or reduced rates for the very least and they are anti colonialism, yet they choose to go to an institution that was created by THE Cecil John Rhodes, a British businessman, mining magnate and politician in South Africa, who served as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896...It's like going to the Middle East and being anti Arabia....!!! The leadership is too weak to take action.

Ahh, UCT. I did my degree here for 3 years, and it was the best time of my life. UCT is a colonial construct however, and this has brought with it many issues, mainly those from the past. It is possibly the most beautiful campus on the planet, with Table Mountain standing behind, like some watchful ward.

I would like to know if you are teaching post-graduate courses in biological sciences!
best regards

Excellent institution! Completed 4 years of study here with nothing but positive experineces and memories!

Well, I went for the open day. It is such an amazing university with lots of different options for any student. BEAUTIFUL VIEW! I would get distracted if I were to go there everyday

Beautiful setting, high quality of education, great academic experience

An amazing institution with a vibrant collective of students. Amazing food that is affordable for students, with different societies that help maintain the student body. The free transportation system, Jammie Shuttles, may be a bit unreliable but is a quick and efficient mode of transport.

A very good university. High quality education that is well respected. The most beautiful campus of any university I have ever seem with sweeping views over Cape Town.

On the down side it is a bit bureaucraticly and teaching style wise old fashioned.

Good education, and great campus life. Engineering faculty has been recently upgraded.

This is my DREAM university I love it wanna go dere in 4 years tym

It's a great place to study, you get challenged a lot...Best university in Africa and also has great views

It's a great campus in so many ways. The teaching and research here are the best on the continent. Plus, the views are great in any direction.

Bad admin staff , could be replaced by a computer , lack of info

Been here for years, the place is constantly evolving

Best University in Africa found in the most beautiful city on earth. What more can you ask for? The quality of life and the quality of education at this university are fantastic.

It s a nice university except sometimes if you eat outside, some birds will attack you and even take some of your food. Other than that, it s alright.
