​The purpose of the Postgraduate and International Office (PGIO) is to create a focused support service platform to promote postgraduate studies and the success of postgraduate students; and to support and promote the incoming and outgoing international academic mobility of staff and students.

Stellenbosch University has an established multi-layered international network, encapsulated in our formal agreements and membership of over 15 international consortia. Through consortia we engage with Francophone Africa, Nordic and Commonwealth countries. Through our agreements, local and international students, staff and postdoctoral researchers are granted a myriad of study and development opportunities all over the world.
