As a result, UniZulu provides career-focused programs in addition to a small selection of pertinent university degree programs that have been designed with employers and potential employees in mind.
The main Campus is situated in Kwadlangezwa, 22 km south of Empangeni and about 142 km north of Durban off the N2 National Road on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast. Empangeni (uMhlathuze Local Municipality) is the nearest town.
