How to Study Abroad in Africa

Prepare to Study Abroad in Africa

Set goals

Before you start packing your bags for Africa, think about what kind of experience you want academically, personally, and culturally.

  • Choose your subject focus. Africa is perfect for studying medicine, arts, agriculture, politics, or language. You just need to align it with your interests.
  • Location matters. Pick your destination based on what excites you: vibrant cities, historic landmarks, rural communities, or all of the above.
  • Decide your learning style. Want hands-on, field-based learning? Africa offers real-world application through service learning and local engagement.
  • Think long-term. Are you looking for career-boosting internships, research opportunities, or cultural immersion? Set goals that support your future.

Understand the benefits

Studying abroad in Africa isn’t just bold—it’s a game-changer. You’ll get more than classroom lessons; you’ll walk away with life lessons.

  • Unmatched affordability. With tuition between $1,000–$3,000 per year, studying abroad in Africa is budget-friendly and accessible.
  • Explore social impact. From healthcare access to sustainability, Africa gives you the chance to engage with critical global issues.
  • Stand out professionally. Africa isn’t a typical study abroad choice, which means your experience will impress employers and grad schools.
  • Live history. From Egypt’s ancient wonders to South Africa’s complex past, you’ll study in places that shaped the world.

Latest Program Reviews

I liked the course very much but now you must offer more job links

November 03, 2025by: Maria López - MexicoProgram: Accredited 120-hour TEFL certification online course $44
9

Everything with the course was well and included many information that have helped me feel strong and confident with the teaching of English to students. There is good support with text and video but also from the tutor when I ask a question. For the price, the value is incredible. The job recruitment linking is nice, but however, I think you must include job linking in future, even as a extra paid service. Thank you
