Overview
Tucked beneath the appropriately named Table Mountain, Cape Town is an exhilarating port city, rich in history, architecture, and cultural pursuits. The city is dominated by a towering, table-shaped mountain, set on a peninsula of soaring, rocky heights and lush valleys, where two oceans converge—the Indian and the Atlantic—and where immense natural beauty and the fast pace and bright lights of a great urban center come together.
First established in 1998, Trinity in Cape Town provides students with the opportunity to spend a semester or year in this fascinating city while studying at a local university. South Africa is a dynamic country recovering from years of racial and class oppression. The nation’s unique history, diverse population, and varied cultures make this an extraordinary opportunity to participate and learn in a thought provoking and stimulating political environment.
All students take a Trinity core course, “Imagining South Africa,” 1 course at UWC Center for Multilingualism and Diversities Research along with a community engagement internship, and remaining 2 courses at the University of Western Cape.
