University of Cape Town Bespoke Study Tours
UCT’s Centre for Extra-Mural Studies has developed bespoke study tours for international students, UCT alumni and friends.
South African researchers have a competitive advantage over their fellow scientists in three fields of study – largely because of the superb opportunities offered by the local study contexts. The clarity and radio quietness of the night sky, the richness and preservation of the Karoo fossil record, and the significance and relevance of pre-colonial archaeological remains mean that local astronomers, palaeontologists, and archaeologists attract researchers from all over the world to join them in field projects. In these three unique study tours we share this research and the associated excitement with participants.
