As the world marks Africa Day, the University celebrates its existing partnerships across the continent and looks forward to further collaboration as a key strategic aim for the future.
Africa Day is the annual
commemoration of the foundation of the Organisation of African Unity on 25 May 1963. It is celebrated in various countries on
the African continent, as well as around the world.
The University benefits from many collaborations with colleagues and organisations in Africa.
