Of the 10 313 graduands awarded degrees and diplomas during the 2021 University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) autumn virtual graduation ceremonies, 382 graduated cum laude and 149 summa cum laude - with women making up 68% of the top achievers.
The virtual graduation ceremonies were broadcast by the university between May 25 and 28.
Acting Executive Director of UKZN’s Corporate Relations Division, Normah Zondo said: “The university had hoped that, by 2021, we would be able to hold our graduation celebrations the traditional way. Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented challenges brought about by Covid-19, the university has had, once again, to significantly change the manner in which it confers qualifications and distributes its degree and diploma certificates. As one of the largest universities in the country, this is an enormous undertaking.”
