Colleges and Universities in South Africa
South Africa has a wide range of colleges and universities in each of its big cities, with two in particular - UCT in Cape Town and Wits in Johannesburg - being internationally regarded. Tuition is good value compared to US or European institutions, and the quality of education generally very high.
There are some good universities outside of the country's two main urban centres, notably Rhodes University in Grahamstown, University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth.
Cape Town has four main universities, UCT being the most popular with expat students.
Factors to consider before registering as an expat student in South Africa are the cost, culture and educational structure of the local colleges.
For expats from the USA, there are some factors worth considering if planning on registering in a college back in the USA, particularly during US college registration season.
