Stellenbosch University (SU) will once again be hosting an on-campus Open Day on Saturday April 20, from 8am to 3pm on the Stellenbosch and Tygerberg campuses for all faculties where pupils, parents and teachers can visit the SU campuses and faculties in person.
This is an opportunity for Grade 12 learners 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 (Victoria Street) or the Admin A Building.
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, SA students and international curriculums and students with special learning needs.
Private accommodation entities, private institutions, Maties Sport and Commuter Student Communities will be strutting their stuff on the Rooiplein, while the residences will also be open to visitors.
Come and attend exhibitions, demonstrations, information sessions and engagement with faculty staff. Attendance is free and open to all.
Pupils and parents must book tickets online at www.quicket.co.za in advance if they are interested in attending information sessions.
The programme is available at www.maties.com, it will empower help those planning to attend the Open Day to carefully plan their information sessions and tours.
In addition, SU also created an open day website for pupils and parents 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 Wednesday July 31, when applications close.
