Full degree study
IAPO services
The International Academic Programmes Office (IAPO), which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2006, has as its core business to facilitate and promote all facets of internationalisation at UCT.
It aims to be the first port of call for all international students, and provides a wide-range of services, including answering general enquiries from prospective students, and giving advice on the safety of the area you wish to stay in, the appropriateness of working while in South Africa, application for study permits and general advice about your stay at UCT.
To this extent we seek to complement the services provided by other faculties and departments and have strong relations with service providers within and outside UCT.
