At Stellenbosch, study abroad students can integrate into the campus community quite successfully, but also have the benefit of courses selected and taught exclusively for visiting international students.

All Stellenbosch faculties are open to visiting students based on language access and course scheduling and a full course load consists of 4-5 courses per semester.
