Stellenbosch University (SU) will once again be hosting a full, on-campus open day where pupils, parents and teachers can visit the SU campuses and faculties in person.
It takes place on Saturday May 6, from 8pm to 3pm, on the Stellenbosch and Tygerberg campuses, and is an opportunity for Grade 12 pupils to obtain information on study opportunities, financial assistance, accommodation and student life.
“The great benefit of an on-campus Open Day is that learners can interact directly with University staff to obtain specific information on the various fields of study,” says Magdel Pretorius, acting deputy director at SU’s Division for Student Recruitment.
Visitors to the Stellenbosch campus have the option of starting their day of exploration at the general information stalls (welcoming area) in front of the Conservatorium in Victoria Street.
Repeated throughout the day will be information sessions on, among others, how to apply, funding and residences. Walk-in services are available for international students, South African students and international curriculums and students with special learning needs.
Pupils and parents have to book tickets in advance, and only three tickets are available per family. Tickets are on sale, at no cost, at www.quicket.co.za, and the programme is available at www.maties.com
Private accommodation entities, private institutions, Maties Sport and Maties Gym will be on the Rooiplein, while the residences will also be open to visitors.
Information officers will also be on duty campus-wide to assist visitors with directions and general enquiries.
In addition, SU also created an open day website for those who cannot attend the on-campus open day. This virtual platform is available at https://blogs.sun.ac.za/open-day/ and will stay open until the end of July, when applications close.
