Part 3 Researchers and research capacity



Three dimensions are presented in this final part of the Review that underscore the contribution of exceptional researchers to the University’s research identity and capacity:
1 – Research awards and recognition
2 – UP’s A-rated scientists
3 – Faculties and research entities

Research awards and recognition highlight some of the notable achievements of young and established researchers in 2015. The research interests of lead researchers at UP are briefly profiled and their National Research Foundation (NRF) A-rating acknowledged.

Finally, the University has 47 Research Chairs and Centres of Excellence, and a total of 90 Institutes, Centres and Units. Taken together, this gives some indication of the scope and critical mass of researchers, with research entities grouped under the broad knowledge fields represented by faculties at UP:
• Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology
• Economics and Management Sciences
• Education
• Health Sciences
• Humanities
• Law
• Theology
• Natural and Agricultural Sciences
• Veterinary Science
