Study Abroad Programs in Africa

Africa is so much more than just The Lion King and that place rich dentists go on safaris. Students who study abroad in Africa will have the benefit of stepping out of their classrooms (and comfort zones) to engage in extra-curricular events that will supplement their academic schedule beyond what they’d ever have available at home. Whether your passion is medicine, music, or anything in between, look no further than some of the incredible universities located all around the dynamic continent of Africa.

History, Politcs, Travel - Experential Learning in South Africa!

July 14, 2025by: Genevieve M - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: South Africa: Intl. Relations in the GS
8

This study abroad deeply changed my perspective and thinking in terms of the Global South position in International Affairs. My positionality in which I approach academics and my professional trajectory has been deeply informed by my time here. Dr. Imraan Buccus, the Academic Director, is an amazing source of information and connections for whatever you are curious about. The program also allows for lots of time to explore the natural beauty of the country through hikes, a safari, and spend time at Durban's beaches. This program allows you to explore the major cities of SA, thoroughly travel the Province of KwaZulu Natal, get to know Durban, and also visit Mozambique. During the program, you will take 4 courses plus an internship or research project. On the program, you live with 3 homestays and then also move around a lot with travel and independent accommodation. The program emphasizes experiential learning with field trips, activities, and speakers. Truly an amazing time abroad!
