Once you are registered at Stellenbosch University (SU) as a postgraduate student, the Postgraduate Skills Development Programme in the Postgraduate Office, Division for Research Development, offers a range of opportunities to help you hone your research skills and knowledge – free of charge. The programme encourages postgraduate students to be self-directed learners – to seek out and utilise opportunities at SU, to take responsibility for developing their graduate attributes and to finish their degrees on time by equipping them with tools, skills and strategies to assist them in this endeavour.
