The Rector’s Welcoming:
Prof Deresh Ramjugernath
Welcome, future Maties!
Open Day is your first step into the world of Stellenbosch University (SU). This site is designed to help you explore who we are, what we offer, and what your future here could look like. Take your time, browse through the pages, and experience our campuses through the virtual tours.
Choosing what to study after school is a big decision and it’s normal to feel unsure. Here, you’ll find the information you need to guide your thinking, answer your questions, and hopefully spark some excitement about what lies ahead.
A qualification from SU is recognised around the world and connects you to a powerful network of graduates, professionals, and thought leaders. But your time here is about more than academics. It’s about growing as a person, finding your place, and building friendships and experiences that will stay with you long after graduation.

As one of the top universities globally, SU is committed to excellence with impact, advancing knowledge, embracing innovation, and contributing meaningfully to society. We are proud of our diverse and inclusive community, and of our partnerships across Africa and the world.
We hope this Open Day gives you a sense of what it means to be a Matie. We look forward to connecting with you and to welcoming you to our campus in the near future.
