The annual Stellenbosch University Open Day is around the corner. Prospective students and their parents or teachers are invited to visit Stellenbosch and Tygerberg Campus on Saturday 27 February from 08:30  to 16:00 to come and find out everything they need to know about being a student in Matieland.

The Maties Open Day is the ideal opportunity for Grade 11 and 12 learners to gain valuable information on university studies, career choices, bursaries and loans; student fees; residence placement, sporting events, accommodation, student associations, student life, and much more.

"What makes the Open Day so special is that prospective students and their parents can talk directly to faculty staff and representatives of the various support services to find out exact information on the various fields of study as well as the support services offered by the University," says Magdel Pretorius, project coordinator and adviser at SU's Centre for Student Recruitment and Career Advice (CSR).

Prospective students are encouraged to start at the welcoming tent in front of the Conservatoire on the corner of Victoria and Neethling streets where they will receive information packs.
