Choice Events

Maties are spoiled for choice of a wide range of stimulating academic and social events. Please find below the details of selected events particularly recommended to the PhD and postdoctoral community on the SU Tygerberg campus.

Spotlight Series

The Spotlight Series has been hosted by Tygerberg International for several years. In 2025, the Tygerberg Doctoral Office will for the first time collaborate on this project. These bi-annual events give academics the opportunity to link their research to the topical themes of key national and international commemorative days. We use this opportunity to mark communal milestone days and build cameraderie. Please do register for the event, once invitations are circulated. Although the event has been offered in hybrid format since the pandemic, in-person attendance is preferred as far as possible. Both options for attendance require registration.

• Tuesday, 27 May 2025, in recognition of Africa Day
  The Africa Day theme for 2025 is that of 'Future Africa: Innovations, Growth, and Development
  
  
• Tuesday, 2 September 2025, in recognition of International Peace Day
  together with South Africa's Women's Day and Heritage Day

Doctoral Discussion Group

The FMHS Doctoral Discussion Group was founded by Prof Susan van Schalkwyk of the Department of Health Professions Education. From 2025, the group is being convened by Dr Liela Groenewald, head of the Tygerberg Doctoral Office. The group meets about once a month, from 12:30 to 13:45, and provides a platform for PhD students to reflect on the doctoral journey. Meetings will take place on the 6th floor of the Clinical Building, at the Department of Health Professions Education, Room 6054.
