The role of Communication is to position Nelson Mandela University in line with its vision, mission, values and strategic priorities as a university of first choice for top students and staff. This is achieved through strategic communication, driving key messaging and institutional narratives through the production of relevant content.  This content is used across all digital platforms, institutional publications, the media, and through the hosting of key events.

Our services include:

  • Internal communication – Memo, Staff Bulletin, faculty and PASS staff support 
  • External communication – Marketing materials, publications, interaction with external stakeholders
  • Events management – Hosting institutional events that strategically position the University; guidance for hosting events
  • Stakeholder engagement – Creating opportunities for specific University goals through funding, research, policy and other support from various stakeholders
