UCT Bicentenary Celebrations – see you on campus in 2029

In 2029, the University of Cape Town will mark an extraordinary milestone: 200 years of shaping lives, advancing knowledge, and making an impact in South Africa, Africa, and the world.

To celebrate our bicentenary, UCT will host a series of special events and commemorative activities during March and April 2029, bringing together alumni, students, staff, donors, and friends of the university from across the globe. If you are considering a visit to Cape Town during this period, we encourage you to include UCT in your travel plans and join us for this once-in-a-generation celebration. Whether you graduated recently or many decades ago, the bicentenary will offer an opportunity to reconnect with the university, renew old friendships, celebrate shared achievements, and help shape UCT's next chapter.

More details will be shared over the coming months, but for now, save the date and start planning your return to campus.

We look forward to welcoming you home in 2029.
