STUDY IN AFRICA

Campus under canvas

The Canadian Field Studies in Africa Program is pleased to offer a full semester safari in Kenya and Uganda where one can take a range of courses in biology, archeology and anthropology. This excellent program provides the student with an opportunity to study the rich diversity of equatorial plants, wildlife and peoples and is a perfect complement to the program's theme of Biodiversity. The program is designed primarily for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students and graduate students who would receive an excellent introduction to research opportunities.

This is a Langara College Program in association with Dalhousie University, McGill University, the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia. The program meets the requirements for the Canada Student Loan Program.
