Welcome to CHEC

Member Universities

The Cape Higher Education Consortium (CHEC) aims to establish the Western Cape as a strong higher education region which, through systemic inter-institutional cooperation and academic programme collaboration, will be

  • distinctively responsive to regional, national and international developments in the knowledge economy of the 21st century
  • sensitive to historical realities in promoting equity across its institutions and
  • cost-effective and of high quality.

This academic consortium comprises the four public universities in the Western Cape. All of the universities are within a 40-minute range from each other by road and share a single automated library system.

The CHEC Board of Directors comprises four senior executives, usually the deputy vice chancellors charged with academic affairs, and the CHEC chief executive officer. The Board operates under delegated authority from the Councils of the four universities.
