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.
