Spending time at another university can be a great opportunity for personal, academic and professional growth. UCT has arrangements for staff and student exchange within a broad network of international partner universities providing opportunities to learn, develop new skills and build international networks.

Student Exchange

The UCT Student Exchange Programme provides opportunities for undergraduate and postgraduate students to spend part of your degree studying at one of our international partner universities.
