Short- and Medium-Term Accommodation for International Students Visiting UWC and CPUT
60 on Kosmos has previously hosted international students visiting UWC and CPUT for exchange programmes and research stays of two to three months. This guide covers who this suits, and — just as importantly — who it doesn't.
This is not a campus residence
60 on Kosmos is an independent guesthouse — not a UWC or CPUT campus residence, and not an NSFAS-accredited student property. It suits exchange, research and short-programme visitors who need a private, self-catering room for a defined period, not a full academic-year placement.
Who this suits
What's included
Rooms are private and ensuite, with WiFi, secure gated parking, weekly cleaning, and access to a communal self-catering kitchenette. See our dedicated pages for current rates and full detail:
