Amazing program and you can't ask for a better city to study abroad in. If you want real world experience, in combination with an intensive classroom environment, there is no better place to achieve this at iXperience Cape Town.
We don’t know where we might end up in the future or what kind of people and problems we will be working with. iX introduced me to this idea and inspired me to seek learning even in areas I may feel are out of my comfort. But even more importantly, to always be curious about what my peers are doing and be open to being pleasantly surprised at what I may find interest in.
iX gave me something concrete to put on my resume, and that was a huge leg up. Most juniors don't have projects to show potential employers.
My time at iX also helped to formulate an idea of what kind of company culture and vision I wanted to be part of.
iXperience is an amazing opportunity to meet new people, enjoy life in a new area of the world, learn and develop new skills, and try your hand in an industry you didn't think you would have the chance to work in.
Gaining global experience changes your perspective and gives you an edge in the increasingly connected world.
Nestled between the oceans and the mountains is a thriving historic city at the tip of Africa.
Rated #3 city to visit in the world (and with new direct flights from New York), iX flagship campus in Cape Town is a must-visit for students.
Study, explore and work in a country once thought to be the edge of the known world. Stay with fellow iXers at a central location in the vibrant city.
Visit museums and galleries, surf the Atlantic swell, and experience the famed cuisine of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

Two sessions of our summer 2023 program will be available to choose from. The first session will run from May 28 - July 8, 2023, and the second session will run from July 9 - August 19, 2023.
Cape Town and Lisbon are two of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the world, which is why they’re both host to our campuses. Cape Town offers access to endless hiking opportunities - including on the iconic Table Mountain - and the option to surf the waves of two different oceans, all just a stone's throw away from the student accommodation.
Lisbon gives visitors many rich cultural experiences, a deep history and sprawling beaches, while also offering the opportunity to bask in the warm Portuguese summer sun. No matter the type of experience you are looking for, book a call with an admissions consultant to find out which option is best for you.
We have a rigid health and safety briefing with all our students on day one of the program to ensure that everyone is well aware of the city and surroundings. Each of our host cities’ student accommodation is located within 3.1 miles of the nearest hospital, and with dedicated staff appointed to each campus, we are able to offer support 24/7. Visit our Health and Safety page for a detailed breakdown.
In both Cape Town and Lisbon, the student accommodation is a shared space so all of our students are able to connect with one another. We house 2-5 students per room, and room selection is on a first-come-first-serve basis. This means that students who commit to the program and pay their deposits early have first choice of rooming options.
Each city’s accommodation is paired with a co-working space (a short distance away), and is close to shops, transport routes and amenities. Students will be picked up from the airport on arrival and taken to check into the accommodation the Sunday prior to the program’s start date. Students will depart from the accommodation to the airport the Saturday after the program ends, and transport will also be arranged on this day. Note that early or late arrivals and/or departures will require your own transportation and additional accommodation arrangements.
Depending on the chosen city, you will have a very different packing list. Cape Town enters its winter between June and September, so it's best to pack warmer clothes; however, the South African winter is very mild compared to the US’s! Expect temperatures of 55°F at worst during the day. Cape Town's weather is notorious for changing in a heartbeat, so make sure to pack a few items for warmer conditions.
Lisbon, on the other hand, will be in its summer during the program, so it is best to pack for a hot climate - and don’t forget your sunscreen! For both locations, you will need to pack swimwear/beachwear as well as outdoor clothing, as you will be going on many adventures in both cities. Also include one or two smart-casual options for meetings with your internship manager.
As we’ve seen in previous years, it can definitely get overwhelming having to attend class and complete internship projects while trying to take in and explore a new city. But don’t worry! iX organises many optional events throughout every week for you to experience the best of each city, but it will be up to you to balance which events you attend and which days you will reserve for your learning experience.
We always offer round-the-clock support to students who are struggling with the course work or workload, and our in-city staff members are dedicated to ensuring you get the most out of your experience with iX.
Our advisors are here to answer your questions.
They’ll help you figure out if our programs are right for you.
