Studying abroad. Pretty cool. But when, where, how and why? In order to answer your questions I have listed some frequently asked questions (FAQ) here.
What do you currently
study?
I study (International)
Business Communication at Nijmegen University. It is a multidisciplinary
programme, combining the fields of English, business and communication.
Why are you going to
study abroad?
My studies have an international
orientation, so studying abroad is a logical step. Furthermore I think
it is a great opportunity to get to know another culture and to experience
education in another country
Why South Africa?
When I travelled in Australia
I got infected with the "travel virus". I would love to see more of the
world so why not start in a place where you can see the world in one
country? Besides, there is this really cool exchange agreement between
my Arts Faculty and the Arts Faculty of the Stellenbosch University.
When
are you going to study in SA?
I am staying from July 14th
till the 29th of December 2001. The semester runs from July 23 until December
12.
Where exactly are you
going?
I am going to study in the
town of Stellenbosch, a historic rural town some 50 kms from Cape Town,
situated in a most beautiful area. Housing on the campus is arranged.
What will you be studying?
Gee, good question. So far
I am not totally sure yet. All I know is that I am going to attend courses,
probably at the Information Science and Political Science departments.
Next to that I will enroll in Afrikaans courses!
Are you only going
to study?
Doh! Of course not. There
will be heaps of cool stuff to do. I do have the intention to complete
some courses, but next to that I want to see the country, get to know the
people and culture and make the most of my stay.
