The University of Cape Town (UCT) is South Africa's oldest university. It was founded in 1829 as the South African College - a boys' school which also provided some tertiary education. In 2004 UCT celebrated the 175th anniversary of its founding. During the 1880s the College grew rapidly in response to the needs of South Africa's developing economy. In 1918 the tertiary section of the College became the University of Cape Town. A large site on Cecil John Rhodes's estate in Rondebosch, on the slopes of Devil's Peak, was set aside to accommodate the new University, which moved there from its old premises in Cape Town in 1929/30.

The Faculty of Law had its beginnings in the establishment of a lectureship in law at the SA College in 1859 and is the oldest Faculty of Law in South Africa. The first professor of law, appointed at a salary of 300 pounds sterling per year, was J.H. Brand, LLD Barrister-at-Law, who in 1863 left to become President of the Orange Free State.
