Academic excellence for public leadership and a changing economy.
A 100% online learning environment connecting students to qualifications, academic support, professional development and lifelong learning.
Developing Revolutionary Change Agents Through Academic Excellence.
ANC University is built around a simple principle: strengthening an organisation requires continuous investment in the knowledge, skills and development of its people.
The University provides a 100% online learning environment organised around five faculties, with access designed for ANC members, its leagues and verified Alliance partners. The academic model brings together qualifications, short programmes, online learning and student support in one digital environment.
Five faculties. Distinct identities. One university.
Each faculty provides a distinct academic home for study, professional development and student support. Faculty pages introduce the academic focus, honour the individual after whom the college is named and guide students into the relevant departments and qualifications.
Qualification information belongs on the University website.
Students should be able to understand a qualification without leaving the University website. Qualification pages bring together the programme purpose, NQF level, credit value, entry route and core outcomes where that information is available.
Explore qualifications through a clear academic home and department structure.
Review the code, NQF level, credits, purpose and study pathway on the University website.
Create a student profile and indicate the faculty and qualification you want to pursue.
Build beyond the minimum.
Matric is a minimum requirement for many deployment opportunities. Completing a full NQF Level 4 qualification can strengthen a member’s eligibility and competitiveness where the opportunity recognises that qualification. It does not guarantee deployment; every opportunity has its own requirements.
Study connected to the work people do.
Learning spans public management, economic and management sciences, technology, agriculture, human and community development, education and legal studies — linking knowledge to the work people do.
Graduate studies and short programmes.
Graduate Studies and Short Courses extend learning across the University, providing dedicated homes for advanced study, research development, professional learning and shorter programmes.
