[Afrikaans volg onder] This is the December 2020 graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Science at Stellenbosch University (SU), with undergraduate qualifications being awarded to 446 students – a new record!
“The fact that this ceremony is taking place online does not detract from the pride and joy with which we celebrate the achievements of our students. Congratulations!” says SU Rector and Vice-Chancellor Prof Wim de Villiers.
This ceremony would normally have taken place on campus, but was moved to cyberspace because of COVID-19. None-the-less, this is an official congregation of SU, duly constituted by our Chancellor, in terms of our Statute. He will confer on the graduates who have met the requirements – as certified by the Registrar, and to the satisfaction of the Senate – the degrees, diplomas or certificates they have earned. They will receive their qualifications in absentia.
Look out for your name being scrolled across the screen. We will send you your degree, diploma or certificate to the address we have on file for you. For an official record of qualifications conferred, download the graduation booklet from the SU website, www.sun.ac.za/graduation.

“Across our ten faculties, 5 701 students will be receiving a sought-after SU qualification this December – which is simply remarkable, given the difficulties of this year. Well done to all our lecturers, support staff, tutors and students,” says Prof De Villiers.
“In total, we will be awarding 3 409 undergraduate degrees, diplomas and certificates – the most ever in this category. We will also be awarding 1 005 honours degrees, 502 master’s degrees and 138 PhDs. We are very proud of our contribution to the development of our country, our continent and the rest of the world.
“To our new graduates: May you apply what you have learned at Maties to good effect, and may SU's values – excellence, compassion, equity, respect and accountability – remain your guideline.
“Stellenbosch University will always remain your academic home. Please visit our alumni platform, www.matiesconnect.com, to stay in touch with your varsity friends, view job offers and find mentors and networking opportunities – all in one place.”

Hierdie seremonie sou normaalweg op die kampus plaasgevind het, maar is vanweë COVID-19 na die kuberruim geskuif.

Hy ken kwalifikasies toe aan die gegradueerdes wat aan die vereistes voldoen het – soos deur die Registrateur gesertifiseer, en tot bevrediging van die Senaat. Hulle sal hul kwalifikasies in absentia ontvang.
Wees op die uitkyk vir jou naam op die skerm. Ons stuur jou graad, diploma of sertifikaat na die adres wat ons op rekord vir jou het. Vir 'n amptelike rekord van kwalifikasies, laai die gradeplegtigheidboekie van die US-webwerf af (www.sun.ac.za/graduation en kies Afrikaans bo regs).

“In totaal sal ons 3 409 voorgraadse grade, diplomas en sertifikate toeken – die meeste ooit in hierdie kategorie. Ons sal ook 1 005 honneursgrade, 502 meestersgrade en 138 PhD's toeken. Ons is baie trots op ons bydrae tot die ontwikkeling van ons land, ons vasteland en die res van die wêreld.
