Meer as 3 600 graduandi het verlede week die verhoog oorgesteek toe die Universiteit Stellenbosch <\/a>(US) grade, diplomas en sertifikate by sy Maart-gradeweek toegeken het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Maart 2026-gradeplegtighede volg op Desember se indrukwekkende gradeweek, waar meer as 6 000 studente hul kwalifikasies ontvang het. Dit bring die totale aantal kwalifikasies wat in die 2025- akademiese jaar toegeken is op ‘n rekordgetal van 10 160 te staan. Dit sluit 5 282 nagraadse kwalifikasies in, waarvan 349 doktorsgrade en 1 650 meestersgrade was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Universiteit Stellenbosch sal vanaf 2027 jaarliks een uitgebreide gradeplegtigheidsreeks in Maart\/April aanbied in plaas van die vorige twee gradeplegtigheidsweke in Desember en Maart onderskeidelik. Die Universiteit se laaste Desember-gradeweek het aan die einde van 2025 plaasgevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In aanloop tot die 11 plegtighede wat van Maandag 23 Maart tot Donderdag 26 Maart plaas gevind het, s\u00ea die US se rektor en visekanselier, prof. Deresh Ramjugernath: “Elke plegtigheid weerspie\u00ebl die toewyding van ons studente en die gesamentlike pogings van hul gesinne en ons dosente en personeel wat hulle op hul pad ondersteun het.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visie vir `n beter toekoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hy het die volgende boodskap vir die graduandi: “‘n Kwalifikasie van die Universiteit Stellenbosch verteenwoordig baie meer as net ‘n graad of sertifikaat. Dit weerspie\u00ebl die kennis, vaardighede en waardes wat jy gedurende jou tyd hier ontwikkel het. Dit berei jou ook voor om met bedagsaamheid by die komplekse uitdagings en geleenthede van ‘n vinnig veranderende w\u00eareld betrokke te raak.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramjugernath het ook ‘n hartlike verwelkoming aan diegene gerig wat by die US se uitgebreide alumni-netwerk aansluit. “Vooruitgang word nooit alleen bereik nie. Dit word deur samewerking, vennootskap en die gesamentlike pogings van mense gebou wat ‘n visie vir ‘n beter toekoms deel. As lede van die w\u00eareldwye Matie-gemeenskap sluit julle nou by ‘n netwerk aan wat voortgaan om saam te leer, saam te lei en saam m\u00f4re te vorm.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eredoktorsgrade <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Benewens die viering van sy gegradueerdes, het die universiteit ook drie eredoktorsgrade aan buitengewone individue toegeken wat hulle op hul gebiede onderskei het en reusebydraes tot die samelewing gelewer het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
