UFS: 100 YEARSCongratulations to the University of the Free State, on the celebration of its hundredth year as an institution. It is the oldest traditionally Afrikaans University in the north. Having started out as an English academic institution, it became an Afrikaans-speaking establishment in the 1930s. Subsequently, since the nineties, the university has adopted a bilingual approach (entailing the use of English and Afrikaans). Students can exercise a choice in respect of their language of instruction, since a policy of parallel-medium tuition is followed. Moreover, Southern Sotho as a third language of instruction is envisaged for the future
