Courses Offered at Stellenbosch University (SU) for 2027

Founded in 1918 in the historic town of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch University has grown into one of South Africa's most respected research-intensive institutions, drawing students from across the country and abroad to its main campus in the Cape Winelands as well as its Tygerberg health sciences campus near Cape Town and its Elsenburg agricultural training site. Known locally as Maties, the university offers undergraduate study through ten faculties spanning agriculture, the arts and social sciences, economic and management sciences, education, engineering, law, medicine and health sciences, science, and theology, with tuition delivered in English and/or Afrikaans depending on the programme. Because Stellenbosch receives more applications than it has places, admission is competitive: rather than a single national points score, each faculty sets its own combination of NSC aggregate thresholds and subject-specific minimum percentages, and meeting them does not guarantee a place.
