The former Border Technikon, Eastern Cape Technikon, and the University of Transkei merged to form Walter Sisulu University on 1 July 2005. WSU was created under the Higher Education Act of 1997 (Act No. 101 of 1997), as modified. WSU has established itself as a gateway institution, making higher education more accessible. WSU, being a comprehensive, developmental university, provides students with a wide range of academic options, articulation, and mobility across a wide range of qualifications, from certificates to diplomas, degrees, and postgraduate studies.
