School Of Public Leadership At Stellenbosch University

At the SPL we prepare graduates for leading roles in public and civic organisations to tackle development and governance challenges.Our graduates are equipped with the knowledge, competencies and values required to build sustainable African societies within a rapidly changing and complex world. Emphasis is placed on the ability of graduates to craft and facilitate an open civic public realm wherein dialogue and contestation can thrive thanks to a culture of tolerance, modisty, solidarity and compassion. To this end, the SPL's teaching, research, consulting and community interaction are designed to foster excellence, social entrepreneurship, reflexive leadership and effective management. We excel in developing the competencies needed to work within complex, multidisciplinary networks and diverse operating environments.
