ABOUT US
The UXi Western Province International Rugby Institute (WPIRI) is operated by UXi Sport, and is one of the 6 national UXi International Rugby Institutes. The UXi International Rugby Institutes offer a High Performance Rugby Development Programme in conjunction with an academic qualification, and mental and life skills coaching. The programme allows for optimum development in the sport of rugby within a disciplined structure and provides the student with an opportunity to grow holistically as an individual, while completing a qualification through accredited providers, that will ensure employability during and also after rugby.
Through our comprehensive sport programme we develop individuals with key attributes and qualities that offer work-readiness and most importantly an embedded work ethic, that is driven by a dedicated professional team, that INSPIRES GREATNESS!
The WPIRI is located in the beautiful student town of Stellenbosch! The campus is housed at Mount Simon Estate; whereby students live in 6-person self-catering houses. This modern Estate is surrounded by the Franschhoek mountain range, which is a breath-taking view, and is only 5 minutes away from the vibrant and beautiful Stellenbosch centre.
The WPIRI‘s elite High Performance gym, “The Shed” is located at the Bosman’s Crossings Business Centre, in the heart of the town. This one-of-a-kind gym is our students’ favourite place to be (maybe even more than on the rugby field)…
