Program Description

One of the most beautiful parts of South Africa, Stellenbosch features historic architecture, rich cultural heritage, and easy access to outdoor and sporting activities. It is also located in the heart of South Africa's wine country, providing fantastic cuisine, vibrant culture, and stunning scenery. Surrounded by mountains in the Jonkershoek Valley, it offers the best of both worlds: a small, historic, university town with convenient access to the amenities of the bigger metropolitan area of Cape Town.

Stellenbosch University focuses on inclusivity, diversity, and using its academic excellence and research activities to find sustainable solutions to some of South Africa and Africa's greatest challenges. Specifically, the university promotes a science-for-society approach, aimed at improving people's lives by eradicating poverty, and promoting human dignity and health, democracy and human rights, safety and security, a sustainable environment, and competitive industry.

This program offers you the opportunity to create an educational program that meets your personal and academic goals—choose from courses in a variety of topics, many with a South African or African theme, while living in one of the most beautiful and diverse regions in the world.
