Meet our Lecturers

Highveld University is a private university in Hatfield, Pretoria. We offer degrees, diplomas and short courses in business, information technology, health sciences and education. Classes are small, lecturers are easy to reach and many of our students study while they work.
Our lecturers come from industry and academia. They teach business, computer science, design, health and languages, and they mark your work themselves. Many have worked in Pretoria companies for years and bring real examples into every class, tutorial and online session.
Every lecturer holds office hours each week. Book a time through the student portal or drop in at the Hatfield campus, and we will help with assignments, projects and exam preparation.
