We emphasise sustainability, relevance and an engagement with the real world in our
programmes, and connect actively with the dynamism, creativity and diversity of Johannesburg
in promoting new approaches to design education that support UJ’s vision of being an
international university of choice, anchored in Africa and dynamically shaping the future.
The Faculty has excellent facilities and staff, and has a long-standing reputation for producing
first-rate graduates that are well equipped to deal with the challenges of solving real-world
problems. The Faculty is also home to UJ Arts & Culture, based on the Auckland Park Kingsway
Campus (with cultural offices on the Doornfontein and Soweto Campuses), which runs two
professional theatres and the UJ art gallery, and offers a dynamic range of public-facing
performing and visual arts programmes for students and professionals.
The Faculty has nine academic departments, namely the Department of Architecture, the
Graduate School of Architecture (GSA), the Department of Fashion Design, the Department
of Graphic Design, the Department of Industrial Design, the Department of Interior Design,
the Department of Jewellery Design & Manufacture, the Department of Multimedia, and the
Department of Visual Art. We also have two research centres: Visual Identities in Art and Design
(VIAD), and the NRF South African Research Chair (SARChI) in South African Art and Visual Culture.
The Faculty works closely with industry to ensure that its programmes remain relevant and
competitive, and to keep students constantly exposed to changes occurring in the professional
worlds of art and design. In the course of the year, recognised national and international artists,
architects, designers and academics are invited to engage with staff and students – in 2017, for
example, the GSA has hosted the international ‘starchitects’ Sir David Adjaye, and Bjarke Ingels.
The FADA and UJ Galleries host important public exhibitions throughout the year, and the
annual student exhibition showcases the best student work for the public.
Through our international partnerships, we offer students the possibility of participating in
exchange programmes to the United States, Europe, and elsewhere in Africa. The Faculty
