The International Office drives Internationalisation at Rhodes University by facilitating relationships between Rhodes University and universities, staff and students from around the world. We also develop internationalisation at home programmes, projects and events on campus. We are the first point of call for international staff and students visiting Rhodes. We provide specialist advice to South African staff and students looking to go on exchanges abroad, and anyone looking to set up relations with or to participate in projects with non-South African universities. We engage with all government departments who affect the mobility of incoming staff and students. In summary we:
