Several strategies contribute to this overarching strategy of the University; for example:

• By establishing theme-based research priorities and platforms that require new ways of doing science, we make it possible for leading and young researchers to engage in complex societal and scientific problems.
• By bidding and securing, in fields of research strength, we extend the ambit of our engagement and visibility.
• Partnerships with industry and governments, local and regional, generate the possibility for team science and new networks, and industry-sponsored Research Chairs.

In addition, research entities — Institutes, Centres and Units — are spaces within the University’s structures where research and academic expertise are consolidated and a critical mass established to present exceptional research and postgraduate training opportunities.

At the Alupe University College (AUC) we believe in developing our students to the highest standards to enable them to successfully complete their studies in the minimum possible time and prepare them for the world beyond UP. As a leading research intensive university which is locally and globally relevant, we attract students and researchers from around the world. In order to do this, we offer holistic support throughout the postgraduate lifecycle.
