MISSION STATEMENT
UCT aspires to become a premier academic meeting point between South Africa, the rest of Africa
and the world. Taking advantage of expanding global networks and our distinct vantage point in
Africa, we are committed through innovative research and scholarship, to grapple with the key
issues of our natural and social worlds. We aim to produce graduates whose qualifications are
internationally recognised and locally applicable, underpinned by values of engaged citizenship and
social justice. UCT will promote diversity and transformation within our institution and beyond,
including growing the next generation of academics.

time, if circumstances dictate, to (i) make alterations or changes to any
of the published details of the opportunities on offer; or (ii) add to or
withdraw any of the opportunities on offer. Our students are given
every assurance that changes to opportunities will only be made under
compelling circumstances and students will be fully informed as soon
as possible
