Rhodes University is one of the 37 universities in the South Africa–Sweden University Forum (SASUF) set to receive a significant boost as part of a R25 million funding injection.

It is with immense sorrow that Rhodes University mourns the passing of Professor Peter Tshobisa Mtuze. Professor Mtuze was a towering figure in South African academia, literature, and the Anglican Church, whose contributions profoundly enriched the cultural and intellectual landscape of the nation. An Old Rhodian, former President of Convocation, and a recipient of the University's highest honour, an Honorary Doctorate, his loss is deeply felt by the entire Rhodes University community and beyond.

Rhodes University’s Human Kinetics and Ergonomics (HKE) Department is proud to announce its 80th anniversary, marking eight decades of pioneering education, research, and community engagement in the fields of sports science, human factors and ergonomics and physical activity. To commemorate this significant milestone, the department will host a dynamic symposium on 15 July 2025, bringing together leading minds in sports science, ergonomics, and physical activity.

Rhodes University has once again emerged as a creative powerhouse at the 2025 National Arts Festival - walking away with two Silver Ovation Awards and securing its place among the most compelling voices on the national Fringe stage.
