The Stellenbosch University (SU) Open Day is the ideal opportunity for Grade 11 and 12 learners to gain valuable information on studying at higher education institutions.
The Open Day will take place on Saturday, 24 February from 08:30 to 16:00 at the Stellenbosch and Tygerberg campuses.
“The beauty of an Open Day is that you can interact directly with University staff. In this way, you can find out exactly what you need to know about the various fields of study, as well as the support services the University offers," says Magdel Pretorius, project manager at SU's Centre for Student Recruitment and Career Advice (CSR).
Visitors can obtain information on career choices, financial assistance, student fees, residence placement, accommodation and student life, while the Student Affairs Division in Bosman Street will provide information on housing on the Stellenbosch Campus as well as the various opportunities available to students making use of private accommodation.
Learners interested in High Performance Sport can also interact with the Maties Sport student athletes and sport managers on the Rooiplein.
“New on the programme this year is a special invitation to the next generation of Maties to write their wishes for the future on a 'Dream Wall' on the Rooiplein," invites Pretorius.
