“Stunning landscapes”
No other African city combines heart-stopping beauty and historical gravitas so effortlessly. Did you know that cape Town is unique among world cities due to its high concentration of flora and fauna species found only within its boundaries (and nowhere else in the world)?
“Unique & welcoming people”
South African People are welcoming, friendly and very proud of their country. South Africa is a nation of diversity, with nearly 52-million people and a wide variety of cultures, languages and religious beliefs. Cape Town is a melting pot of different people. South Africa is often called the ‘Rainbow Nation’ and neatly describes the country’s multicultural diversity. The majority of South Africans are Christian.
There are 11 officially recognised languages, most of which are indigenous to South Africa. English is spoken everywhere you go. English is the language of the cities, of commerce and banking, of government and official documents.
“A vibrant culture”
What separates Cape Town from other seaside towns is its vibrancy and atmosphere. African culture is most obviously known for its art, dance and music.
Cape Town is a great city to visit, to live in, to work in and to study. Did you know that Cape Town is one of the World’s 10 Most Loved Cities according to CNNGo?
“Accredited Universities”
Like any other world city, Cape Town Universities provides international students with a range of academic and intellectual experiences that enable them to reflect upon the complexities and challenges facing the new world.

What does this means? For years students have considered to study abroad only in US or Europe, because these places are recognized to offer the best education. But now, South Africa has a lot to offer to those who are interested to study and live a once in a life time experience in a vibrant multicultural city at the southern tip of Africa.
