THE
INTERNATIONAL
POSTGRAD
EXPERIENCE
The research endeavour at UCT is committed to bringing
African knowledge and expertise to the global challenge
of solving the world’s wicked problems. International collaboration
is key to achieving this goal, and we have developed a large and
vibrant network of partnerships across the globe.
IAR U
Since postgraduates lie at the
productive heart of much of our
research, we are committed to
encouraging each of our postgrads
to have an international experience –
whether through exposure to other
international students and researchers
on our vibrant and diverse campuses,
by tapping into our extensive
networks or by taking up one of the
many mobility opportunities to spend
time or even be jointly taught and
supervised at a university elsewhere
in the world.
Keep an eye on the Postgrad Hub
for announcements of these and
other international opportunities.
