Akademiese drag

Stellenbosch University recently launched its new vibrant academic attire, which serves as an extension of the institution’s visual identity. It is mandatory to wear the correct academic attire for your graduation ceremony. Academic attire will be available for all graduands and past graduates on campus to rent/buy from our supplier, Dippenaar & Reinecke, for the respective ceremonies, photos and private events.
