Stellenbosch University

Stellenbosch University is a public research university in Stellenbosch, a town in South Africa's Western Cape province. Together with the University of Cape Town, which received full university status on the same day in 1918, Stellenbosch is the oldest university in South Africa and the oldest extant university in Sub-Saharan Africa. Stellenbosch University was the first African university to sign the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Scientific and Humanities Knowledge.

Today, the university's Language Policy encourages multilingualism as a means of improving equity of access for all students and staff. Afrikaans, English, and Xhosa are used in academic, administrative, professional, and social contexts, and Afrikaans and English classes are available. Students are permitted to write assignments, tests, and examinations in either English or Afrikaans. The language of instruction varies according to the faculty. Because the Faculty of Arts is 40 percent English, courses are taught bilingually, and the language of most handouts or prescribed material is chosen by the student.
