International Students
Welcome to the International Student Services Office (ISSO) at University of the Western Cape (UWC); a dedicated unit of Student Administration that supports international students at various stages of their education.
We are excited that you have considered UWC as your development partner in attaining your learning goals. We are privileged to host students from numerous nationalities in a variety of academic programmes.
International students include all persons whose nationality is from abroad (out of Africa), from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) comprising 16 member states; Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe (within Africa), refugees, Section 24 Asylum Permit holders and any other person who does not have a South African Identity Document.
International students have unique requirements associated with their study in South Africa and therefore need specialised support. ISSO aligns with the institutional aim to further global perspectives amongst its staff and students, strengthening intellectual life and contributing to South Africa’s reintegration into the world community (UWC Mission Statement, 1997).
UWC strives to be a place to grow from hope to action through knowledge and is committed to teaching, learning and research. It offers international students the opportunity to pursue their learning goals in a diverse and thriving academic community located in the iconic city of Cape Town.
ISSO aims to justify your confidence in UWC as your preferred development partner in achieving your learning goals. This webpage contains important information for your application at our institution.
Thank you for considering UWC.
