I opted to study at Ghent University in Belgium as it was close to my hometown. I was incredibly excited about studying for my masters in African studies, as I had always been intrigued by this course. I also knew that this course was the only one of its kind in Belgium, so I knew that I was getting a really rare chance to study this course. the course was also completely taught in english which allowed me to perfect my english speaking, reading and listening skills. i thoroughly enjoyed my time at univeristy here and found the course to be exceptional. It was an incredible experience to learn more about African cultures and societies, as well as the history of the continent.
