• History & Memorable Moments

The Pretoria branch of the Transvaal University College (TUC) was the forerunner of the University of Pretoria[citation needed]. (The nickname for this university - Tuks or Tukkies - is derived from the TUC acronym.) The college commenced its activities as an Afrikaans language institution in 1908 (and therefore celebrates its centenary this year) with a staff consisting of four professors and three lecturers. Thirty-two students were enrolled for courses at the first campus, Kya Rosa, a house in the centre of Pretoria. The University of Pretoria became a fully fledged university in 1930. As in all other sections of South African society, considerable transformation has taken place here since the end of apartheid in 1994. This began the transformation of the university from a mainly white, Afrikaner institution, to a national university in the true sense of the word, accessible to all South Africans. ^[1]
