The Open Day is free of charge and learners can visit over 100 information stalls to find out more about the different fields of study that the university offers. Also on offer are information sessions throughout the day at various venues, campus tours and entertainment. Prospective students can also win a good number of prizes.

The Open Day is also the ideal opportunity for prospective students to enquire about what the access tests entail and to ensure that they know what the admission requirements for 2015 are.

Prospective students are encouraged to start at the welcoming tent in front of the conservatoire on the corner of Victoria and Neethling Streets, where they will receive information packs.

The information stalls include the 10 academic faculties, the respective departments, the various SU support services, e.g.: Bursaries and Loans, Student Fees, Maties Sport and Academic Support, as well as Maties student bodies like the Student Representative Council, residences and societies.

Accommodation is crucial for all prospective students. For this reason there will be stalls for enquiries about university residences, as well as private accommodation options. All the residences will be open for viewing.

Some of the other stalls include facilities available for students with disabilities, the library, Centre for Student Counselling and Development (CSCD), the Language Centre and the First Year Academy.

Several other educational institutions will also be present, including Boland College and the Isa Carstens Academy.

Information sessions

Apart from the information stalls, all the faculties and the Centre for Student Recruitment will also be presenting information sessions during the course of the day.

You can experience the campus at first hand by going on a guided campus tour led by student leaders. To top this all MFM, the local radio station, will broadcast from the Neelsie. Cool prizes will be up for grabs.

The Open Day is hosted on and around the Rooiplein on the Stellenbosch Campus. Admission is free and parking will be available close to the Neelsie Student Centre.
