“There are many reasons why one would choose to study abroad: experience a new culture make friends from around the world expand business contacts become completely independent change the way you think understand that our world is a globalised society and become ready to work in it develop language skills study in a global hub of your chosen field humanitarian opportunities and travel more widely.
If you want to experience one of the most diverse and complex continents in the world you have to look into studying in Africa.
WHY CHOOSE AFRICA?
If you think about the most common continents where international students choose to study, Australia, Europe, and North America, it will become pretty clear that our similarities as nations are greater than our differences. We live in an ever-increasing global society and if we truly want to stake our claim in the business world we need to start thinking about expanding our horizons and outlook on different countries and cultures.
In South Africa alone there are three universities that are in the top 400 of the ‘QS Top university rankings list’ – University of Cape Town University of the Witwatersrand and Stellenbosch University. If we are truly serious about growing as humans then studying in Africa is the thing to do. How much can you really develop if you are always in your comfort zone? By studying in one of the most complex continents in the world we get a richer experience and as with anything the more you put into it the greater the rewards.
But Africa is not just about complex politics and human diversity; nature alone should be enough to drive a student to consider Africa as a choice for their university destination.
If you are a person who loves outdoor exploration and adventure then Africa deserves some thought and consideration in your planning stage of university admission. Although it is not without its drawbacks: distance, poverty, disease each one of these things is a reality in the world we live in and for the globally minded student these things are not seen as disadvantages but rather adventures and opportunities to undertake.”
