Rhodes University - RU Speciality : Art & Design
programme: Arts

Rhodes University, especially the English Department, surpassed my expectations. Their focus on developing critical thinkers and readers of society helped me to develop my research and writing skills. I enjoyed the variety in the syllabus (which included everything from Shakespeare to Tolkien) and felt that the bi-weekly group tutorials encouraged my academic development. Additionally, their administrative departments were supportive, and responded to requests promptly and comprehensively. The general atmosphere on campus helped foster inclusivity and promoted positive global citizenship skills. I would unquestioningly recommend Rhodes to any student considering an Arts education.

I would say the university is very student centred. It is in a very quiet so it is good place for studying.if one is looking to be away from the fast life then this is the place to be. I would say the con is that the town is very remote. I really love how much the university promotes community engagement. I would like to recommend one course that made me have a different view on life, Iintetho Zobomi which translates to conversations about life.
