Tour to South Africa for Architecture Students
Example study tour
Created for The University of Nottingham
The University of Nottingham required a group travel package to facilitate a visit to Limpopo where students could develop a strong relationship between study and practice and expand their creative skills whilst considering the use of building materials, resources, environmental impact, time and budgets.
StudyLink created a 16-day study tour package to Johannesburg, enabling students to explore South African architecture and inspire future building projects through the development of cultural intelligence.
