What UNCW students are saying
The opportunity to study abroad was not only
affordable but a chance of a lifetime that I am glad
that I did not pass up. I spent my semester in Oulu,
Finland, in the Northwestern part of Finland. The
program that I took part in immersed me into the
Scandinavian culture and the
Finnish way of life.
Sarah Gennosa
University of Oulu
I ended up meeting and living with all international
students. Not only was I able to learn about each of
their cultures, but we were all together learning and
discovering Australia for the first
time.

Why study Chemistry abroad?
• Firsthand exposure to other cultures, people and places
• Greater understanding of your own culture from a different perspective
• Impressive résumé asset – an experience highly regarded by prospective
employers and graduate schools
• Get hands-on experience participating (and receiving compensation for) an
international internship
The thing that I have enjoyed most about NMMU
and all of South Africa is the rich cultural diversity
and the generous people. Both of these things
have contributed greatly to my
educational experience.
