Akademia, Paarl-kampus - Paarl, Western Cape
Nestled in the heart of the Winelands town of Paarl, in the Western Cape, the Paarl Campus of the Afrikaans-language independent higher-education institution Akademia ushers in a fresh chapter in tertiary education, imbued with local flavour, contemporary facilities, and a clear vision for regional growth.
The Paarl Campus is set to welcome its first full-time students in January 2026, beginning with an initial cohort of around 340 first-years. The institution will offer a broad range of programmes spanning five faculties: Economics and Management Sciences, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Education, and Law. Facilities include modern lecture halls, collaborative study areas, a media centre, and both indoor and outdoor cafeterias. Students can relax at the campus coffee shop, “Sowel As,” or browse at the official merchandise outlet, “Die Winkel.” With secure parking and controlled access, the campus provides a safe and modern learning environment.
Paarl, long celebrated for its deep Afrikaans heritage and cultural importance, offers a fitting backdrop for Akademia’s mission. Surrounded by vineyards and mountains, the new campus captures the essence of the Boland lifestyle, combining academic excellence with community warmth. The Paarl Campus aims to be more than just an educational facility; it represents a space where students, educators, and the broader community can engage, grow, and celebrate the Afrikaans language and culture in a contemporary setting.
