I want to study from home. Looking for a college in South Africa?

We Answered:

I'm a South African teaching English in Korea. I'm currently doing another diploma through UNISA. It's kinda easy if you know someone there. My niece works there and got all my registration done. Unfortunately, I can't give you her e-mail address, but I can give you this link to start off with..........

Once you e-mail the University of South Africa, you'll get good advice on how to proceed further. If you call, you may even get helped faster. These guys are professionals and you won't have a problem getting registered.

Best places to study in South Africa?

We Answered:

I'd recommend to study at Cape Town University. It's the best one in Africa and one of the top 250 in the world. It's SA's oldest University and is beautifully set on the slopes of the 1km-high Table Mountain in Cape Town (regarded by many travelers as the most beautiful city in the world). South Africa is a friendly and diverse place... The people are amazing. See http://istudy.iagora.com/University_of_C…

You can also consider Rhodes University. It's a smaller University though. One of Mr Nelson Mandela's grandchildren study there ;)

Should I study in South Africa?

We Answered:

I've been studying at the University of Pretoria the past 3 years...

Regarding the crime - I haven't been affected by it at all. Of course you need to be careful, not walk alone at night, etc. The University residences are also very safe (I've also lived there), with guards, access is restricted to Residents only, safe parking, etc.

Studying thee all depends on what course you want to follow. Pretoria has the best Enginering and Vetenary Science departments in SA. The other departments are also in the top 3 of the country, so your degree will be very good and actually mean something.

Before going to another country's university, it's important to consider the different cultures. The University of Pretoria is the biggest Afrikaaans, Englsh and black and white universty in the country - so there's seriously something for everybody. Don't worry about the language - all courses are available in english and everybody can speak it.

O, and next year Tuks turns 100 - prepare for a lot of celebration! ;-)

If you have any other questions, you're welcome to mail me at s25062672@tuks.co.za

(PS, Tuks is the "nickname for the university!)

Hope this helps! For even more information, visit the University's webpage.

Should I learn afrikaans if i'm going to study abroad in south africa?

We Answered:

I dont think that it is needed. Depending on where you are going, if you really want to learn another language, I would look at Zulu or Sotho. Most people that talk afrikaans can also speak English. However, many black children that live in small townships have not yet learned English.

If you feel that learning Afrikaans is easy and you would enjoy it, why not? Knowing more than one of South Africa's 11 official languages will always be an advantage, but it is not needed.

I am from the University of the free state. It is a wonderful university. I dont think there is anyone that cant speak English but there are rather a big group of Afrikaans speaking students and they would be impressed and feel that you care if you did learn some words but if you are going to volunteer I would suggest you rather study South Sotho... as for a lot of younger rural children in the free state it is there first language and many only learn to speak proper English in high school.
