Directorate Overview

Dr. M. Payi
Director: Internationalisation and Partnerships

Welcome to the Directorate of Internationalisation and Partnerships at Walter Sisulu.

Our Directorate is committed to advancing the University’s vision of becoming a globally engaged institution that contributes meaningfully to knowledge creation, innovation and sustainable development. Through strategic international partnerships and collaborative initiatives, we aim to strengthen teaching, research and community engagement while creating opportunities for global academic cooperation.

Internationalisation plays an important role in preparing our students and staff to operate in an increasingly interconnected world. By fostering relationships with universities, research institutions, government bodies and industry partners across the globe, we create opportunities for academic exchange, joint research projects and capacity development.

We invite partners, researchers and students from around the world to collaborate with us as we continue to expand the global footprint of our University.
