The phenomenal success story of the University is one that has surprised critics and won over sceptics. Since its establishment in 2005, and under the bold and visionary leadership of its first Vice Chancellor and Principal, Professor Ihron Rensburg, the University has had a remarkable journey with major accomplishments in transformation, equity, access, and Pan African and global excellence. The vision of the UJ is to be \"an international University of choice, anchored in Africa, dynamically shaping the future\". The mission can be described as follows: \"inspiring its community to transform and serve humanity through innovation and the collaborative pursuit of knowledge\". These are underpinned by four values, namely: imagination, conversation, regeneration and ethical foundation. The six strategic objectives provide a focused means for realising the Vision, Mission and Values of the University as set out above. They further represent a re-working of the original UJ Strategic Thrusts 2020 in the context of a wider positioning of the University as \"The Pan-African\" Centre for Critical Intellectual Inquiry, with the primary goal of achieving global excellence and stature. The six strategic objectives are: Excellence in Research and Innovation. Excellence in Teaching and Learning. An International Profile for Global Excellence and Stature.
