Why Study in Cape Town?

South Africa is an exhilarating, complex country, with an abundance of energy and bursting with creative intelligence. South Africa is a treasure chest of unforgettable scenery, from lofty mountains to sun-baked deserts and dramatic coastlines washed by the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Favoured by nature with one of the most temperate climates on the African continent, and plenty of dry, sunny days, South Africa is known as the Rainbow Nation, woven by a rich tapestry of culture, living in a vividly coloured and sculptured landscape. Experience the majestic ‘Big Five’ (Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard and Rhino) as well as many other fascinating wildlife, with a backdrop of spectacular sunsets, where else will you find both penguins and elephants in roaming free!?

The long fight for freedom has created a hopeful and optimistic country, with traditional cultures still strong, and the creation of a new South Africa on the streets of townships and cities. Follow in the footsteps of the indigenous African leader, and anti apartheid activist, Nelson Mandela, who epitomises the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. The rhythm of South Africa is to the beat of the African drum, with buzzing live music, dance and theatre scenes at venues ranging from bushveld festivals to botanical gardens. Art, dance, literature, music, theatre - not forgetting food and wine - all the facets of the rich cultural kaleidoscope.
