Ghana

As one of Africa's most peaceful and politically stable countries, Ghana is the perfect location for immersing yourself in the rich history and culture of an African country! Explore the renowned castles of Ghana that were created by European explorers and traders in the 15th century. Cape Coast Castle, Fort St. Jago, and Elmina Castle are some of the UNESCO World Heritage monuments we think you should check out.

While attending the University of Cape Town, you will find that the academic environment is similar to that of universities in the US. Classes will be small for optimal class discussions and personal attention from professors. Courses will be taught in English by local faculty. Exams, written work, class attendance, and more, just like at your home university, will make up your final letter grades for your courses.
