De Villiers will take up a new post as director of rugby at UWC.
"Peter brings decades of knowledge relating to rugby and other sports to the UWC community. He will motivate students and staff alike and his impact on the entire sports programme will be immense," vice-chancellor, Brian O'Connell said.
He said De Villiers's extensive expertise would not be confined to simply growing UWC sportsmen and women to achieve on the scoreboard.
"As an engaged university, UWC is also about uplifting and empowering the community it serves, and De Villiers's extended brief is to establish a UWC-based resource centre that will create a new generation of coaches, players, referees and administrators from local clubs and schools, as well as from UWC."
De Villiers said the appointment was his dream job.
"I am asked how one follows up on coaching the national side at international level. The answer is simple: by giving back and transforming sport at grassroots level, and through this position at UWC, I get to do this and fulfil a lifelong ambition."
