Located in the southernmost tip of Africa, South Africa is a unique study abroad destination with a diverse landscape, rich culture, and relaxed lifestyle. Choose one of Anchor’s study abroad programs in South Africa and explore the country’s notable landmarks, stunning wildlife, hiking trails, history museums, and more.

When you study in South Africa, you’ll be in one of the country’s largest cities, Cape Town, where you can attend local theater, music, and dance productions; enjoy museum tours and visits to rural cooperatives; cheer for teams at a cricket or rugby match. Come for a semester of service learning, a year of arts and sciences study, or a summer exploring community development and social justice!

While abroad, students may enhance their academic experience by completing a full- or part-time internship in South Africa. This unique opportunity allows students to gain real-world international work experience, expand their professional networks, and develop valuable skills that complement their studies. Internships are available across diverse industries, including business, marketing, manufacturing, sustainability, and more, providing a well-rounded perspective of today’s global job market and enriching the overall study abroad experience.

With homestays, cultural clubs, excursions and volunteering opportunities, Anchor study abroad in South Africa is a uniquely immersive international experience. If you’re looking to explore beyond South Africa, join our Open Campus Block Network and create a custom program that includes Cape Town, plus up to two other study abroad destinations.
