The Library does not require bound hard copies of thesis or dissertations. Once a student has completed all the corrections required by the examiners of a Masters or a PhD an electronic PDF version of the thesis or dissertation must be sent to the Library where it is stored and uploaded onto the UJ Institutional Repository so that it is accessible to the international research community.

In Level 2 of lockdown the Library Bindery service will be operational on a daily basis. As the service will be working the only 60% of the staff the service turn-around time may be delayed.

About the Postgraduate School

The University of Johannesburg has set itself the strategic goal of achieving global excellence and stature. Since its inception in 2010 the Postgraduate Schoolhas evolved into a postgraduate development platform that is dedicated to improving key performance indicators related to postgraduate success. It contributes to the creation of a research-enabling environment through the provision of funding and research capacity development opportunities. Originally established as the Postgraduate Centre (PGC) the PGS was formed after benchmarking international best practice followed by robust engagement within the University.

The mandate of the new University of Johannesburg Postgraduate School (UJPS) is a result of a collaborative process that aims to balance international best practice with the unique requirements of UJ. The vision of the UJPS is 'A school of excellence dedicated to UJ postgraduate development and performance'.

The goals for the UJPS are to:

deliver on UJPS vision and mission in accordance with the vision, mission and values of UJ, in collaboration with faculties, while adhering to the principles of good governance defined by the legal-managerial framework of the university;
conceptualise and annually update UJPS strategy in terms of faculty needs, ultimately aiming at improving the UJ postgraduate value chain;
effectively and efficiently manage UJPS resources in improving the UJ postgraduate portfolio;
serve and support postgraduates holistically through a single, highly accessible point of contact, thus serving to advance their progress and success; and
develop and promote a UJ postgraduate culture.
