Confucius Institute

In June 2004, the Centre for Chinese Studies (CCS) was conferred the status of a Confucius Institute by PRC Education Minister Dr Zhou Ji during his visit to South Africa.

At the time, the CCS forged a strategic partnership with Xiamen University in order to fulfil the mandate of the Confucius Institute.

In 2009, the Confucius Institute at Stellenbosch University moved into the University’s Postgraduate and International Office in order to better meet its mandate as a bridge for liaison between South African society and China to facilitate the promotion of Chinese language, cultural and knowledge in South Africa and the region.
