Students

At Stellenbosch University you’ll find an energetic campus where serious learning and a full, active student life go hand in hand. Our academically rigorous programmes are supported by research-led teaching and learning resources that help you thrive inside the lecture hall and beyond.

Campus life is rich and varied: Maties Sport and a wide range of recreational programmes keep students fit and connected, while student societies, cultural groups and social impact initiatives give you endless ways to explore interests, make friends and build leadership skills. Whether you live in one of our residences, in private student accommodation or commute from home, clusters, peer mentors and commuter communities make it easy to settle in and belong.

We also place student wellbeing at the centre of the experience - from counselling and academic support to financial aid advice and dedicated services for international students we ensure that you are supported holistically while you study.
