Office of Student Success

The Office of Student Success is a unit in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It sits within the faculty, alongside the university.

Its publication data point to research strengths in student equity and access, first-generation student experiences, curriculum transformation and decolonial approaches to education. Work also addresses culturally responsive pedagogy, including the integration of Indigenous knowledge and languages into science education and policy research.

Further themes include resilience and life balance, community-centred methodologies and sustainability education, with attention to border crossing into university study. The research is focused on South African higher education contexts, including diverse and remote settings, and frames student success through social justice and transformation.
