Study African Studies Abroad
Africa is a vibrant place that—more often than others—is known for its continental culture rather than its countries’. And yet, there is such a diversity of languages, landscapes, foods, and history that one could spend their entire life studying and still only get a taste! That being said, the study is worth it to understand the strength, adaptability, and unflappable spirit that all Africans tend to share. Take your African Studies abroad to truly get a grasp on this dynamic country, the power that comes from its natural resources, and its subsequently unique path forward in today’s world.

A Guide to Studying African Studies Abroad
Best Locations
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.
