Accommodation near The University of the Western Cape - 44
The University of the Western Cape (UWC) is
one of the 4 most prominent tertiary education institutions in the Western
Cape. It is located in Bellville, in the
Northern Suburbs of Cape Town.
The university has a history deeply
entrenched with the Apartheid system. It was established in 1959 as the University College of the Western Cape –
a constituent college of the University of South Africa. Only so-called ‘coloureds’ were permitted entry into the institution and while ‘black’
people were banned outright from any tertiary education, the education offered
at the college was certainly substandard, only preparing graduates for low to
mid-level jobs in schools, civil service and other areas which strictly served
only ‘coloureds’.
The university played an active role in the fight against Apartheid,
an ugly period in South African history which still (indirectly) drives the
university’s key emphasis on access,
equity and quality, where education is concerned.
The university boasts 8 faculties: arts, community & health sciences, dentistry,
economic & management sciences, education, law and natural sciences. Each
faculty has numerous departments and
offers a range of valuable and
interesting degree options.
UWC has a highly skilled staff with 50 percent of them holding a
doctorate. Furthermore, UWC prides itself as a research institution too.
Most departments have graduate
programmes and at any given time, 20
percent of the university’s student body consists of postgraduate students completing research.
The university strives to offer a stimulating and supportive environment
for all its students and to this end there are many resources available to
students.

I haven't been to Bellville in over 13 years, being back there was awesome. A shopping mall is in walking distance and there is also a variety of food outlets to choose from.
