The health, safety, and well-being of the UCT GSB community is our top priority.
Like other institutions, the UCT GSB is monitoring the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus and related travel restrictions, and adjusting plans for programmes as events warrant. We are operating under the advice of UCT and UCT Health Services, which are continuously monitoring information from local health officials, the South African National Department of Health and the National Institute of Communicable Diseases. All UCT GSB academic programmes are currently being delivered in accordance with UCT's Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) protocol to ensure minimal disruption to the 2020 academic year. We will continue to update this page to keep you informed.
