Media Office

UCT’s Media and Social Media unit communicates to internal and external audiences about university programmes, research and the activities of faculties and staff. We work closely with UCT’s executive management in planning the release of news and information to both the UCT community and our diverse external audiences through both traditional and social media.

Our proactive media relations campaign profiles UCT in the local, regional, national, international, professional and specialist media. We publicise events, successes and innovations; write, target and issue news releases; update students on important notices, research developments and campus events; brief journalists; respond to enquiries from journalists, media researchers and social media; and promote UCT staff as expert commentators on TV, radio and social media.
