A Guide to Studying Abroad in Cape Town

Geography & Demographics

The Mediterranean climate offers beautiful weather year round and more sunshine than Madrid. Winters last from June until August and are mild with usually only a couple colder fronts each year. Summers are warm with a few weeks of more extreme heat in late February and early March.

Cape Town lives in a biodiversity hotspot and many plants that grow on the mountains within the city don’t grow anywhere else in the world. The typically wet climate provides a lush landscape full of flowers and green plants year round.

Great Experience

September 17, 2025by: Caleb Hildmann - United StatesProgram: Learn & Intern This Summer in Cape Town
10

This past summer, I had the opportunity to join iXperience in Cape Town, South Africa, where I completed their Investment Banking program. I had a few friends go in prior years so I thought I had an idea of what was going to happen. iXperience exceeded my expectations and was one of the best decisions I have made. iXperience made me feel ready for a career in finance. On top of the professional development, I was able to make some of the greatest memories of my life exploring a new city with some of the coolest people that I met in the program. Since I completed the program it has been a highlight of my resume in interviews, everyone is so interested and curious about working abroad. This was the greatest experience of my life and I’d highly recommend iXperience to anyone looking for a unique program that blends professional development, cultural immersion, and unforgettable experiences abroad.
