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.

Since postgraduates lie at the productive heart of much of UCT's research, we are committed to ensuring that our postgraduates are a key part of this international experience.This starts by attracting postgraduates from around the world – particularly the rest of Africa – to our campuses, and continues by giving our postgradutes the opportunity to tap into our extensive networks or to take up one of the many mobility opportunities to spend time abroad or even be jointly taught and supervised at a university elsewhere in the world.

UCT welcomes international students and we make every effort to offer our postgraduates the chance to gain international experience. Find out how on these pages.
