Platinum Status for financial governance

In another significant achievement, the UFS was awarded Platinum Status accreditation for financial governance by the Good Financial Grant Practice (GFGP) of the Global Grant Community, making it the only university in South Africa to hold this prestigious distinction.

Platinum status is no ordinary accolade. It signals full compliance with the highest global standards for financial management, operational excellence, and ethical leadership. It also underscores the university’s trustworthiness in managing donor funds, research grants, and other vital resources with transparency and integrity.

This accreditation confirms the UFS’ status as a trusted partner for major state and philanthropic funders worldwide. It is a testament to the university’s commitment to operational excellence, continuous improvement, and long-term financial sustainability.

All these milestones are rooted in the UFS Vision 130 – a bold set of commitments aimed at repositioning the institution for 2034, when it celebrates its 130th anniversary. Vision 130 embodies the UFS’ aspiration to be a research-led, student-centred, and regionally engaged university that has a consistent outward focus and is profound in what it delivers.

By fostering innovative research, transformative learning experiences, and world-class governance, the university is ensuring that its graduates, its research, and its partnerships are catalysts for positive change, both locally and globally.

The UFS is not simply preparing for the future; it is helping to create it.
