Adventure, everywhere.
Cape Town has it all: mountains, beaches, urban jungle and more. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it.
Rich history and culture.
South Africa’s oldest city has had a turbulent past, which has created a flourishingly diverse present.
Thriving start-up hub.
The Cape lifestyle has it all for entrepreneurs, who flock here from around the world to bring their ideas to life.
Very affordable.
Favorable exchange rates to the dollar mean South Africa is much cheaper than many other destinations.
Affectionately known as the Mother City, Cape Town is South Africa's oldest city. Cape Town is rated as one of the most beautiful cities in the world with a backdrop of flat-topped Table Mountain juxtaposed by the sweep of the Atlantic Ocean in the foreground. There is no other city in the world that allows you to live an adventure so close to urban life.
Start your mornings or end your days with a hike or a surf, before walking through the bustling town to take class or start your internship. ‘Work hard, play hard’ is the mantra of our Cape Town campus.
Below are activities that iX students did in 2023, which we captured on video. Some are included, others aren't. Excursions change from year to year.
Things change from year to year of course – this is to give you an idea of how things come together.
See for yourself how iX works 24/7 to keep students healthy and safe.
Each year, we welcome dozens of parents who visit their children in each of our incredible campus cities. In this video, we caught up with parents who visited iX Abroad, and asked what their experience was like in Cape Town, South Africa and Lisbon, Portugal.
