What does the programme offer?

  • If you are willing to work hard, SciMathUS offers you an opportunity to improve your Grade 12 marks. With your new results you may then re-apply for admission to Stellenbosch University or any other higher education institution. SciMathUS however, cannot guarantee placement in any institution.
  • In addition, complementary subjects such as Computer Literacy and Academic Literacy are offered. Students re-write the National Senior Certificate Examination in Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
  • Classes will be offered in Afrikaans and English, depending on the number of students in the class. The offering will be in English if most students are English speaking.

Funding of the programme?

  • SciMathUS is mostly funded by the private sector.
  • Successful students will be asked to make an admission fee towards the cost of the programme in 2024. Please note that this is only a contribution and does not cover the cost to offer this programme.
  • The SciMathUS programme offers accommodation to 90 of the 100 students, priority is given to those students who come from other provinces or distances where it is difficult to travel from home to campus every day.
