Die Fakulteit Geneeskunde en Gesondheidswetenskappe aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch is ’n dinamiese sentrum vir innovasie en streng akademiese navorsing wat nuwe standaarde vir gesondheidsopleiding stel. Ons bied ’n verskeidenheid voorgraadse en nagraadse programme wat gewortel is in toonaangewende navorsing en praktiese kliniese opleiding. Ons kurrikulum integreer die nuutste wetenskaplike ontdekkings met praktiese opleiding, sodat jy die tegniese kundigheid en die etiese grondslag ontwikkel wat nodig is om komplekse gesondheidsuitdagings aan te spreek.

Ons doel is om die volgende generasie gesondheidswerkers op te lei wat deur innovasie en leierskap gesondheid bevorder, siektes voorkom en optimale sorg lewer. Ons het ’n diverse studentegemeenskap van byna 5 000 voorgraadse en nagraadse studente.

Ons akademiese aanbod strek oor uiteenlopende gesondheidsrigtings, sodat jy die kennis, vaardighede en waardes opdoen wat nodig is vir ’n suksesvolle loopbaan in die gesondheidsorgsektor. Jou passie mag lê by kliniese praktyk, navorsing of openbare gesondheid — in al hierdie rigtings berei ons programme jou deeglik voor vir die veranderende eise van die beroep.

  • Leer met werklike impak: Ons skep ’n stimulerende leeromgewing wat kritiese denke en innovasie aanmoedig.
  • Gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid: Ons is daartoe verbind om ’n werklike verskil te maak in die lewens van gemeenskappe.
  • Transformasieprojekte:  Ons werk doelgerig saam met al ons rolspelers om werklike en blywende transformasieprojekte in die fakulteit te laat slaag.

Our transformation journey 

As a dynamic entity, we have often led the way in expressing our commitment to transformation. We believe that the facilitation of a journey toward positive transformation represents our espousal of the values presented to us in the South African Constitution. We have built a strong reputation of advancing health and equality over the past few decades, and we will continue to play a leadership role underpinned by our commitment to transformation in this regard.

Research

Our research

Research is the heartbeat that drives every part of our work. At our Biomedical Research Institute (BMRI) and across the faculty in different facilities, teams are tackling the prevention and treatment for diseases like tuberculosis and advancing cardiovascular research, developing new diagnostic tools and therapies that directly improve patient care while in our Department of Health Professions Education, researchers are redefining how future healthcare professionals learn, blending classroom innovation with real-world clinical insights. Our collaborative environment empowers postgraduate researchers to dive into projects on tuberculosis, HIV, neurological disorders and other critical health challenges. By fostering partnerships that encourage hands-on investigation, we create an authentic space where every discovery can potentially transform healthcare outcomes in the future.

Social Impact

Our social impact

Whether through innovative public health initiatives or hands-on training in rural hospitals, we are dedicated to creating, sharing and applying knowledge that transforms lives and strengthens society's overall health. The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is committed to making a real difference by promoting health and advancing health equity. We work hand in hand with local clinics and community health centers to train health professionals who are ready to serve in both urban and rural settings. Our success is built on partnerships with local government, NGOs and community leaders, ensuring that our research and teaching directly address the challenges faced on the ground. For instance, our mobile health clinics and rural training programmes bring vital medical services directly to underserved areas, ensuring that quality care is accessible to everyone.
