Study, while building your international work experience, in Cape Town, South Africa.
Connect-123’s Social Entrepreneurship Program at the University of Cape Town provides a hands-on, one-of-a-kind experience in the challenges of entrepreneurship as well as the special opportunities present in emerging markets. The Program is offered to both UCT students and international students and includes a substantial fieldwork component – where students work side-by-side with local social entrepreneurs – blending experiential and classroom-based learning.
Courses are taught by UCT faculty and students receive a transcript from UCT, which is one of Africa’s leading teaching and research institutions. The University recommends 16 transfer credits for the semester-long experience. International students are required to take the core course, Building Emerging Enterprises, plus two electives from the UCT course handbook.
While open to students from all disciplines, the topics covered in this program would ideally suit those majoring in business, economics, international relations / political science, and communications. International students enroll in either the Fall or Spring semester.
