Prospective University students have been encouraged to attend the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) and University of the Western Cape (UWC) Open Days, which are both being held on Saturday, 9 May in Bellville.
The events are free and grant learners an opportunity to find out about the various study opportunities available at the two institutions.
The UWC Open Day will feature career exhibitions, faculty presentations, and guided campus tours.
Visitors will receive practical advice on admissions, financial aid, and academic programmes, while engaging directly with lecturers, admissions staff, and current students.
CPUT‘s Open Day will be held on its Bellville Campus, and learners and their parents can explore a range of study options, including up to 80 career-focused courses.
Six faculties of Business and Management Sciences, Health and Wellness Sciences, Education Sciences, Informatics and Design, Applied Sciences and Engineering and the Built Environment will all be exhibiting on the day.
CPUT says competition for a first-year place remains fierce, with close to 500,000 first-year applications received for only 9000 spots.
