Stellenbosch University and its environment have much to offer in terms of an experience, something to think about or simply just the amazement that such a unique, positive and prosperous institution exists. The statement: "Stellenbosch stands for an idea" has become synonymous with our character and nature. Finding out whether that holds true, is a challenge!

The opportunity of studying at Stellenbosch University assures not only a lifelong partnership which includes an internationally respected academic qualification, but also a life enriching experience and the tying of friendships that will stand the test of time. Stellenbosch is not only nationally and internationally renowned for its academic excellence, but also for the enriching and incomparable student life offered.

In the area of student life and the non-academic side of being a Matie, Stellenbosch is especially known for its residence life, outstanding sporting achievements and rich society life. The student atmosphere in a town with an incomparable historic character and the beauty of the mountains, the winelands and the sea is a recipe for success and the highest quality in all areas.
