Seychelles

Seychelles, officially referred to as Repiblik Sesel/République des Seychelles/the Republic of Seychelles, is an independent island republic located in the western region of the Indian Ocean. It is comprised of around 115 islands with the main islands standing around 1,000 miles to the east of Kenya and around 700 miles to the northeast of Madagascar. The capital city of the island country, Victoria, can be found on Mahé Island and is the archipelago’s only port, with around one-third of the population of the island calling the city their place of permanent residence.

Seychelles can serve as a stepping stone in attaining higher education and obtaining an academic degree. While the country does have a limited list of accredited institutions of higher education, it does compromise by providing in-depth training on a variety of subjects such as Management, Finance & Banking, Business, Economics, Accounting, Technology, Political Science, Media, Law & Jurisprudence, Medicine, Mathematics, Communication, Environmental Studies, Arts, Design, Administration, Computer Science, and others. In addition, the country’s official language is English, allowing students to practice communicating in one of the world’s most commonly used tongues. Furthermore, there may be opportunities to study other languages such as Creole. In addition, tuition fees within the institutions of higher education in the country are relatively less costly compared to other countries such as South Africa or Qatar. The Republic of Seychelles is also a suitable destination to participate in volunteer programs in the fields of Ecology through marine and wildlife conservation, as well as Business via mentoring and assisting local companies.
