PhD Graduation
Should you have completed the examination process, and be awaiting the arrangements for graduation, please receive our warmest congratulations on successfully completing your PhD.
Stellenbosch University (registrar's division) has
scheduled the FMHS doctoral graduation ceremony for 9AM on 26 March 2024 (see
schedule). Graduation will take place in the Coetzenburg Centre, situated between the Danie Craven Stadium, the Sports Science building and the Maties Gym in Stellenbosch (barring unforeseen circumstances).
The registrar's division takes full, central responsibility for this regulated event. We have been informed that the arrangements can only be confirmed upon formal approval by the highest university body, Senate. The arrangements are still being finalised.
