University of Cape Town

The granting of tenure and administration of postdoctoral researchers at UCT is guided by the university's policies on postdoctoral research.

At UCT there is a range of student housing options for undergraduate and postgraduate students, both on and off campus. Around 8 400 students are accommodated in the university’s residences.

Campus is huge and Cape Town stretches all the way from Atlantis to Cape Point. Traffic in and around the city can be hectic and getting around takes time – especially if you need to get to one of UCT’s satellite facilities.

UCT through 2U/edX offers over 70 short courses. These short courses empower participants to access high-quality, future-forward education from Africa’s leading university and to realise their potential.
