Congratulations!
Congratulations on starting your studies in the Humanities Faculty of UCT!
We understand that arriving on campus can be a bit confusing and that you may feel a bit disoriented. For this reason we have created a Humanities Student Guide for you that will provide you with all of the important information and contacts you need as a new student.
New students are given a copy of the Humanities Student Guide during Orientation. This guide is one of a set of Humanities booklets designed to provide you with all the critical information relating to your academic studies and student life on campus. However, should you have any additional queries, please contact or visit the Humanities Undergraduate Office which is located in the Beattie Building (Upper Campus) and/or visit your relevant academic departments.
