How to Study Abroad in Mozambique

Because Mozambique is not the first destination many people consider (besides you Glen Coco. You go, Glen Coco), there may be less options for you to choose from. But the awesome and exciting part of that is that you will be creating you own path and experiencing the true essence of life: embracing the unknown. Here are some location options to study abroad in Mozambique.

Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, is a Portuguese inspired (and colonized) coastal city that serves as an ideal study abroad destination in Mozambique. You will find street cafes, shopping opportunities, and the chance for true cultural immersion. As you walk through the Portuguese-influenced architectured streets and buildings, not only will you be able to feel the remnants of the colonized past of the country, but you will also see how the country functions now, in their somewhat recently found freedom.

As a port town, Pemba is the perfect destination to study abroad in Mozambique for undergraduates who are looking to explore white sand beaches, nearby coral reefs, and dolphins, whales and endangered dugongs (similar to manatees). Pemba is located on a peninsula in one of the world’s largest harbors which gives you access to beach life, and also the cultural immersion experience you are looking for in your Mozambique study abroad adventure.

An Incredible Life Experience

Program: SIT Study Abroad: South Africa: International Relations

The SIT program in Durban has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life! One of the greatest gifts of this program is that it would be impossible to recreate on your own or with any other company. The opportunity to meet with so many local people in Durban working to make change, attend book talks/lectures by a variety of professors, hear the experiences of local people working to make change post-apartheid, and about their experiences during apartheid, and living in home-stays is only possible through this SIT program. From day one, the cohort felt like a family, and learning from Dr. Buccus a privilege. The program offers safety, diversity in experience and excursions, fosters community between students, and was responsive to the individual passions and interests that each of us brought. I truly cannot overstate my gratitude towards the staff of SIT for offering such a well-rounded, academically rigorous, and culturally immersive program.

A Truly Special Experience

Program: SIT Study Abroad: South Africa: International Relations

I loved every moment of this abroad experience. From the relationships I built with SIT staff, to the meaningful conversations I had with local community leaders and organizations we worked with, to my fellow students, who are now family for life, to every little moment of learning and laughter. A once in a life time experience that I wouldn't trade for the world. Thank you SIT!
