WELCOME TO THE PROVINCE OF KWAZULU-NATAL

The University of KwaZulu-Natal is located in the province of KwaZulu-Natal and is situated in the subtropical seaside city of Durban and in the Midlands city of Pietermaritzburg, capital of the province of KwaZulu-Natal.

With an inviting outdoor climate, KwaZulu-Natal’s two World Heritage sites lure the explorer.  Surf, snorkel or scuba dive in the sea or hike the majestic Drakensberg mountain range only two hours away.  Go wild game or bird viewing in the internationally renowned national parks, famous for the successful conservation of the Black and White Rhinos.

Durban is a city whose local authority has received numerous awards for their management of the city.  Pietermaritzburg is the seat of provincial government and is located in the centre of the scenic KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, close to numerous nature reserves and parks. The city has a rich architectural heritage, with many fine examples of Victorian and Edwardian buildings.
