The International Office

The Rhodes University International Office exists primarily to facilitate relations between Rhodes University and non-South African universities from around the world. We are the first port of call for visiting international staff and students at Rhodes, Rhodes staff and students looking to go on exchange, and anyone looking to set up relations with non-South African universities. Our mandate includes:

• develops international opportunities, links and exchanges for Rhodes staff and students;

• liaises with the international offices at other universities;

• researches internationalisation at Rhodes (including campus-wide surveys on issues of internationalisation and the experiences of international students here at Rhodes);

• participates in the activities of both local and other international education societies.
