Stellenbosch University is recognised as one of the four top research universities in South Africa and takes pride in the fact that it has one of the country’s highest proportions of postgraduate students, of which almost ten percent are international students.
Students flock to the town not only for its reputation as home to one of the top universities in the country, but also because of the unique village setting and surrounding mountains, valleys, vineyards, orchards, streams and waterfalls that create a peaceful and unique atmosphere.
