The Graduate School for Arts and Social Sciences is a HOPE Project initiative in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University to strengthen and advance doctoral training and scholarship in Africa.
More than 180 doctoral students from 18 African countries, including South Africa, have enrolled in this scholarship programme since 2010. A total of 93 have successfully graduated, of which 78% completed in three years or less.

Collaborative research, supervision and exchange will be encouraged through the Partnership for Africa’s Next Generation of Academics (PANGeA) involving leading universities across Africa.
