Study African Studies Abroad

Some of the best places to study African Studies abroad combine the opportunity to examine current intersections of health, human rights, and development with a strong understanding of the past. It’s a no-brainer that schools in Africa itself rank high in meeting these needs, but grade-A courses can be found throughout Europe, the Americas, and Asia as well.

South Africa. You may know South Africa for its rugby, or the wisdom of Nelson Mandela, but did you also know it has some of the best schools on the continent? The capital, Pretoria, boasts world class universities with programs in African language and history, and the Centre for African Studies in Cape Town is one of the best in the world.

Egypt. Besides quality universities, Cairo is home to the Institute of African Research and Studies. Specialists make it a point to not only research there, but share that research with up-and-coming experts in the field (you!).

England. If a degree in African Studies is supplementary to other work you’re pursuing, schools in England could be the perfect place to study abroad. They offer an enormously wide selection of degree programs, and attract some of the best professors and researchers in the world.

I am a visiting student at HUFS in Seoul, and I applied through Asia Exchange. What a wonderful journey I had with them! The entire procedure from application to arrival was smooth and user-friendly. The Asia Exchange team consisted of very nice people and they always answered my questions very fast. They gave me specifications about HUFS, student life, and living in Korea, which were really useful for my preparation. They even helped me apply for a dorm, so I didn’t have to worry about finding accommodation on my own. I really suggest Asia Exchange to all those who are planning to study in South Korea, you won't have any problem and no stress at all!
