Globally Leading Researchers

The UJ researchers featured here hold A-ratings from the National Research Foundation (NRF) of South Africa.

The NRF defines A-rated researchers as “unequivocally recognised by their peers as leading international scholars in their field for the high quality and impact of their recent research outputs.”

Strategic Research Support within the Research Development and Support Division assists UJ researchers in rating applications.
