UCT's Centre for Higher Education Development (CHED) is involved in a number of interventions that provide support to researchers on their postgraduate journey. 

One of CHED's departments is the Academic Development Programme (ADP). Underpinning the work of the ADP is the belief that most students experience difficulties at university not because they themselves are deficient in some way, but because of structural inequalities that persist in South African educational systems and society. Browse the ADP's areas of work page to find out how it provides educational support to postgraduate students.

The Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT), also a department of CHED, is committed to a higher education environment that fosters transformative and reflexive practices in learning and teaching.

The UCT Careers Service, another CHED facility, is geared to prepare you for your career after graduating.
