Overview

The student has the option of following the Viticulture and Oenology (general) or Oenology (specialized) programme at the Stellenbosch University.

Quick Facts:

The first year of study entails basic sciences (which are followed in the Faculty of Science) and fundamentals in wine sciences. Second and third year focuses on scientific and technological courses in Viticulture and Oenology. The fourth year students will have the opportunity to complete an industry experience placement in viticulture and oenology. This entails that the students spend a minimum of 6 months with a selected farm. During this 6-month period viticultural and oenological research projects are performed. During the last semester students conclude their degree by focusing on advanced viticultural and oenological perspectives. Upon the completion of this four year-year degree students would be qualified as both a viticulturist and winemaker.
