Program Overview

Program Description:

The University of KwaZulu-Natal was established in Pietermaritzburg in 1910 and expanded to include the Durban campus after World War I. Since that time, the University has experienced extensive development and both campuses reflect the University's policy of integration, boasting a large percentage of black and Indian students. In addition, there are international students from over 62 countries. The constant social and academic interaction between students of such varied origins and backgrounds enriches the university community as a whole.

This summer study abroad option is approximately 5 weeks in length. Expected travel dates are from late June - late July. The International School offers the educational experiences that appropriately complement the institution's curriculum while adding significant cultural dimensions to students' life experiences. Students engage in a multi-cultural experience, with opportunities to participate in community projects and to study Zulu language, culture, and art. The courses offered include: • Zulu Language and Culture • Gender and Education in South Africa
