Every year thousands of hopeful matriculants don their school blazers for the last time, results in hand, hearts full of ambition… and then promptly run straight into a brick wall.
We call this wall: The Great University Scramble.
Let’s break it down. Of all the students who qualified for university in South Africa last year, around 40% could not find a seat. And what’s more, many of those who did manage to nab a seat were forced to settle for their second or third choice in program! Terrifying, right? That means thousands upon thousands of freshly qualified school leavers (not to mention countless reapplicants from previous years) are left playing academic musical chairs.
And guess what? The music stopped ages ago.
So what’s a bright, driven, degree-hungry school leaver to do?
Enter: The Plot Twist
Here’s where things get interesting. While South Africa’s public universities are bursting at the seams, the world — yes, the whole entire world — is bursting with opportunity. There are literally thousands of accredited, top notch universities across Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, and everywhere in between… and many of them are actively looking for international students like you.
And here’s the kicker: studying abroad is not just for the rich or ridiculously lucky. Nope. Not anymore.

Sure, studying abroad used to sound like something reserved for trust fund kids and movie plotlines. But the truth is, today it is far more possible — and affordable — than you think.
