Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) is an engaged and people-centred university serving the needs of diverse communities by contributing to sustainable development through excellent academic programmes and research.
As a result of the merger between the former University of Port Elizabeth and the former Port Elizabeth Technikon, the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) chapter came into being in 2005.
This chapter works in collaboration with the University’s International Office to encourage diversity and inclusiveness. With a steadily growing international student population at NMMU, Golden Key has also established itself as a link to the rest of Africa.

“There are a range of topics that continue to occupy my thoughts after the ISLP experience. I feel the ISLP delegation on engineering broadened my horizons on a professional and personal level. This experience provided me with memories that I will be able to think back on for as long as I have a healthy mind! My wish is that more students may have the opportunity to experience such a wonderful time as I did. I want to thank Sasol Mining, my bursar, for providing me with funds to attend the ISLP delegation to China. Thank you Golden Key for informing me about this great program!”
