Located in the Western Cape of South Africa, Stellenbosch was founded in 1679. However, it is not simply a town of dignified historic buildings and tree-lined avenues, it is also a modern city, a bustling center for commerce, agriculture and education with the campus as an integral part. The town has moved with the times while maintaining its rural character and preserving its historic heritage. Stellenbosch is 12 miles from beautiful beaches and 34 miles from Cape Town. The active nature-lover can enjoy the hiking trails in the surrounding mountain ranges or even a walk in the town's nature reserve. Stellenbosch also offers a wide variety of cultural activities in which the university's departments of Music, Drama and Creative Arts play an important role. The Stellenbosch wine region, the Napa Valley of South Africa, is one of the oldest in the southern hemisphere, and certainly regarded as the most beautiful. |

Being historically and officially an Afrikaans institution, the University of Stellenbosch offers most of its classes in Afrikaans and the majority of its students are Afrikaans speaking (51 percent) (all students speak English). Reflecting the needs and interests of an increasingly diverse student body, the university also offers courses taught in English, and it is from these that international students typically make their enrollment selections.
