Blue Star Programs

Study English in South Africa


South Africa has some of the best value for money English language programs on offer – this compounded with a very favourable exchange rate and high quality education institutions, have led to more and more international students enrolling in co0urses in South Africa. The possibility to go after class on Safari in Kruger Park, cage diving with Great-White Sharks off the Cape of Good Hope or site-seeing in Cape Town are just some of the advantages of studying in South Africa.

A tourist visa is sufficient for stays of less than 3 months, and recently the federal government has permitted international students to work for up to 20 hours per week for the duration of their course. All Blue Star programs are registered and accredited with the South African Department of Tourism. Luckily South Africa has yet to become as popular for Brazilians as countries such as Australia or Canada, therefore students are much less likely to fall into the trap of spending time with native Portuguese speakers – resulting in better fluency in English and at a much faster rate.

Top 10 reasons Blue Star recommends South Africa:

  1. Some of the best value for money courses
  2. Small number of Brazilians studying in South Africa
  3. Enormous cultural diversity
  4. All education providers are accredited South African Department of Education
  5. Naturally beautiful country with extensive travel opportunities
  6. Possibility for students to work up to 20 hours per week
  7. Excellent year round climate
  8. No visa required for stays of less than 3 months
  9. Low cost of living
  10. Friendly and receptive population
