"You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands -- your own." -- Mark Victor Hansen

Study outside of South Africa PDF Print E-mail
As a South African why would you even consider studying through an academic organization based outside of South Africa?
Here are some valid reasons:
  • you haven't registered with a South African university or college, either because your matric results are not good enough for the course you want to do, or you missed the last date to register!
  • you want to travel or work outside South Africa and study at the same time
  • you want to obtain a qualification from a specific country, either because you are planning to live in that country, or the qualification will provide you with more options than would a similar South African qualification
  • you are required to study in terms of the work visa of the country in which you intend working, eg. au pairs in the USA working and travelling on a J1 visa (see USA - Au Pair )
  • you cannot find an equivalent course in South Africa
  • you can complete your studies and get qualified in a shorter period of time than in South Africa, eg. a medical qualification through a Chinese university (where you can study in English!) takes two years less than in South Africa - go to  Wuco, a South African company with representatives in China, who can assist you in the process of registering at the Chinese university that is right for you
  • the foreign course is cheaper than the local equivalent
  • you want to study online using the internet, and no similar option is offered by a South African organization
  • you wish to study in a language other than English or Afrikaans
