Student Equity and Talent Management Unit

The Student Equity and Talent Management Unit has since its inception and to date, facilitated various pre university and scholarship programmes which are funded by various donors (local and international organisations).

The aim of these programmes is to assist learners from both disadvantaged and better resourced backgrounds to access higher education opportunities and to provide them with the support needed to be successful in their studies.

Inception

The Student Equity and Talent Management Unit (SETMU) was established in 2007 as a pilot project with the intention of facilitating access to educational opportunities for previously disadvantaged young people. The unit was institutionalized in 2009 to assist the University in developing strategic partnerships which actively contribute to the public good. The unit is now part of the School of Human and Community Development.
