Covering 318,500 square miles, with a population of only 2.303 million, Namibia hosts the world’s second lowest population density. For those less apt at doing math in their head, that works out to be about two and half people per square kilometer. Despite this vast (and epic) land space, students will be pleased to know that study abroad programs in Namibia are fairly limited, which makes choosing a program all the more easy!
Windhoek, the capital and largest city in Namibia, is located smack dab in the center of the country. While this city does not have the familiar urban pulse that you may be used to, Windhoek still offers a host of amenities and comforts that are rarely found elsewhere in the country (including a diverse population, a beautiful city park, and even a skyscraper!). Students can attend the University of Namibia Windhoek, the Polytechnic of Namibia Windhoek, or the International University of Management (yup, you guessed it, also in Windhoek).
Further afield. For those education students who are particularly keen to live as those in rural Africa do, teacher training schools can be found in the northwest and Caprivi regions (namely the Caprivi College of Education in Katima Mulilo, the Rundu College of Education, and the Ongwediva College of Education).
Independent study abroad programs in Namibia may also have headquarters in smaller cities, such as Swakopmund or Luderitz, where students will not necessarily attend traditional university classes. Students who decide to study in Namibia would be wise to plan on making Windhoek their home base for exploring the far-flung corners of Namibia.
