Study at Stellenbosch University

Stellenbosch is a quaint, Dutch town full of inviting corner cafes and innovative art galleries. Located only 30 minutes from Cape Town, it is home to some of the premier wineries in the world.

Stellenbosch University is only a five-minute walk from the city center. The metropolitan campus is small but safe and allows for students to have personal interaction with their faculty.
