UCT International Students and SADC Postgraduate Applications

University of Cape Town International Students and SADC Postgraduate Applications

Non-South African or SADC citizens

Such applicants are liable for international fees and will require a study visa. Please refer to the international Full Degree Students section as well as the international fees section of the UCT Fees Handbook.

Please note that applicants for master’s and doctoral studies may apply for an International Academic Scholarship Award, which will reduce the international fee. Contact the postgraduate co-ordinator within your faculty.
