"The right to search for truth implies also a duty;
one must not conceal any part of what
one has recognized to be true."
-Albert Einstein-
Stellenbosch University's Faculty of Health Sciences has a reputation for research built over decades of diligent and persistent effort. We continue to perform as a leading research-rich environment with extensive international collaborations, in addition to national and local partnerships. A research agenda shaped by strategic research focus areas, ensures that our research activities address the major health challenges facing the African continent.
At our Faculty young and experienced researchers are able to take advantage of a range of ongoing capacity-building initiatives, including courses in research methods, administration, ethics, grantsmanship and scientific writing. A postgraduate office provides an effective, efficient and friendly one-stop service for students undertaking higher degrees. We plan to invest even further, and with greater purpose into facilitating research, through developing and renewing research infrastructure and providing career opportunities.
In recent years, our researchers have experienced unprecedented success with respect to the acquisition of external grants. With the privilege of being able to conduct research comes the responsibility to publish. It is pleasing, therefore, that our researchers are increasingly making their mark in the international literature. Even more satisfying is the mounting evidence that their research is positively influencing health policy and practice in South Africa and beyond.
