UFS Language Policy

The UFS Language Policy aims to promote multilingualism and linguistic diversity at the University of the Free State. It encourages the use of multiple official languages in teaching, administration, and communication to reflect South Africa’s linguistic landscape. The policy supports creating an inclusive environment where speakers of different languages feel valued and respected. It also seeks to develop language proficiency and ensure equitable access to university resources and opportunities for all language groups, fostering a culture of mutual understanding and respect across the university community.
