SU is known as a residential campus with an active residential life, which makes residence placement sought-after among students. Applications to study at Stellenbosch University in 2023 are now open for undergraduate study.
Applications to study at Stellenbosch University in 2024 are now open. Stellenbosch is an internationally recognised tertiary institution for academics and is one of the leading tertiary institutions in South Africa.
The process is as follows:
All prospective BDatSci students should apply via the University’s portal for undergraduate study in 2024. You only need to apply for BDatSci under the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences (EMS). You do not need to select any focal area yet using this option. If you are certain of Computer Science or Applied Mathematics or Statistical Physics as focal areas, see below where to apply for any of these specific three focal areas.
Next year, in 2024, after your grade 12 results are known, you will have an opportunity to select the focal area of your choice after attending the compulsory information session about focal areas.
However, if you are already certain about any one of the 3 of the 8 focal areas, namely that of Computer Science, Applied Mathematics or Statistical Physics, you can apply under the Faculty of Science portal and select one of the 3 focal areas. However, we have seen students are not really certain and we recommend applying for BDatSci “General” under the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences.
So if you are uncertain about focal areas, go to the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences portal for applications and select BDatSci as a degree. This will be the bottom option under all BCom degrees of the drop-down box.
This means that if you wish to register for the focal area Geoinformatics under the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences or the focal area Statistical Genetics in the Faculty of AgriSciences or even for the 3 focal areas under the Faculty of Science, you apply just for BDatSci in the Faculty of EMS. After grade 12 results are known in 2024, you can still change to any focal area of your choice.
