NB: The UJ Postgraduate Centre has moved to the RC Nano Building on APK

The PGC at UJ was established in July 2010. The Centre’s main focus is to support postgraduate students in the most comprehensive way possible in order to improve postgraduate enrolment and throughput. Since 2013, the main PGC portfolios have been: Research Capacity Development (RCD); Research, Monitoring and Benchmarking; Postgraduate Funding Support (PFS); and Marketing and Information.

The RCD and PFS departments, which were previously located in the Library and A-Ring at the Auckland Park Kingsway Campus (APK), have now moved to the RC Nano Building. The building adjacent to the Human Resource B5 Building. The new space will enable these two departments to work together in the same space.

​

While PFS will continue to manage an increasing number and variety of bursaries and scholarships, the department will also have regular contact with postdoctoral research fellows who use the designated offices within the building.

For more information on UJ bursaries and scholarships, visit: bursaries and scholarships.

While the RCD continues to support emerging researchers and supervisors through the provision of high-quality events, the *training room and *boardroom will enable the department to manage events closely, and be more responsive to departmental and faculty specific requests. This move will also consolidate collaboration between the RCD and PFS regarding jointly hosted workshops on funding applications for postgraduate students and staff.

Walk/drive through the main entrance to A-Parking (the first parking lot). Walk towards the Faculty of Engineering building. On your right you will see the newly built lecture halls. Before you get to the Faculty of Engineering building turn left, walk past the solar labs on your right. The RC Nano Building is on your right after the solar labs and before the B-5 HR Building. It is a big grey and white building with a large ‘Postgraduate Centre’ sign on the outside.
