Study in Port Elizabeth with University of Cincinnati

University of Cincinnati has partnered with CEA to offer you the opportunity to study abroad in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. "The Friendly City" invites you to take advantage of its temperate climate and direct access to beautiful sandy beaches year-round. More than merely a beach destination, the city is a window into South Africa's identity, boasting great ethnic diversity derived from a long history of European settlements and immigration from India, Malaysia and more. With game reserves, elephant parks, national forests and the Indian Ocean’s wildlife all at your fingertips, you can experience all South Africa has to offer.
