Study in Cape Town

Cape Town’s natural beauty will take your breath away. The city is dominated by the iconic Table Mountain and is situated at the point where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. Cape Town’s good looks are undeniable, but behind the pretty façade is one of the continent’s most important urban centers. Study in Cape Town, South Africa’s economic hub, where our internship program offers students international work experience in the thriving wine and tourism industries.

EF Cape Town shares the city with three major universities, including the University of Cape Town, the highest-ranked school on the African continent. Our language center is housed in a colonial-style building in the shadow of Table Mountain. The white sand beaches of Camps Bay are just a short trip away, as are the shops and cafes of Long Street. Our study programs in Cape Town are held in bright, air-conditioned classrooms where your daily routine will include classes designed to help ease your transition into the South African lifestyle.
