Participating were Unisa Corporate Marketing (Department of Institutional Advancement) and the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, College of Law, College of Science, Engineering and Technology, College of Accounting Sciences, College of Human Sciences, College of Economic and Management Sciences and College of Education, in collaboration with the Midlands Region.

The open days welcomed prospective students from Potchefstroom and the surrounding areas seeking to get information about qualifications offered at Unisa, enrolment requirements and procedures. As part of student support, prospective students were assisted in submitting their online applications for the 2023 academic year, and current and returning students’ enquiries were tackled.

The tools of stakeholder engagement and brand visibility activity have proven to be a reliable form of creating brand awareness among both students and staff in the region.
