“Universities are institutions for the ages. Over the centuries, they have done much to make the world a better place. But the world keeps on changing, and we too have to adapt or be left behind.
“In recent times, our roadmap has been our Institutional Intent and Strategy, which draws to a close this year. Building on this valuable foundation, we have now developed a new vision and strategic framework to take us into the future.
“Our new vision is bold – to become “Africa's leading research-intensive university, globally recognised as excellent, inclusive and innovative, where we advance knowledge in service of society.
Core strategic themes:
- A transformative student experience
- Networked and collaborative teaching and learning
- Research for impact
- Purposeful partnerships and inclusive networks
- Employer of choice
- A thriving Stellenbosch University
“What happens in the world shapes us, and what happens here matters to the world. We are all part of something bigger. Our new vision and strategic framework will take us forward together … masiye phambili … saam vorentoe."
