Stellenbosch University SU has capped 21-year-old David Obagbuwa with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery MBChB degree, making him one of the youngest medical doctors in South Africa.
From Lagos, Nigeria, Obagbuwa began his tertiary studies at the age of 15, entering SUs medical student intake in 2020. He graduated on Thursday.
Its a dream that has come true, but it feels surreal, he said. This achievement is a testament to the mentorship, support and world-class education Ive received from the Stellenbosch community. Im incredibly grateful, and it feels truly special to now reach the end of this journey with the same institution that believed in my potential from the beginning.
