Change the world
Mandela International Office
To name any institution after our former president, the beloved Madiba, takes courage and a good amount of boldness. It sets a precedent to live up to the many qualities of such a great name, which is something that remains at the heart of all that we do here at Nelson Mandela University.
For young people in search of diverse experiences and exposure to rich cultures and natural beauty while studying, South Africa is an idyllic destination that offers all of the above.
Great choice! Apart from the internationally-recognised courses we offer, Nelson Mandela University is uniquely located within walking distance of the sea. Four of our six Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) campuses are in Summerstrand, home to several magnificent beaches.
You couldn’t choose a better place to study than at Nelson Mandela University’s George Campus, as it is one of the most scenically beautifully university campuses in the country.
You’ve done it – you’ve decided to attend university. It’s an exciting journey where you will learn independence, develop skills, gain knowledge, meet new people, share experiences, and figure out who you are and what you want to do.
Choosing a university to study at is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make about your education. Yes, it’s about getting an excellent education but it’s also about finding somewhere to have fun, make friends, develop skills, gain confidence and lay the foundation to realise your dreams.
