Study Abroad Programme_

In partnership with Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt.
There’s nothing quite like travel to broaden one’s creative horizons, which is why Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt has partnered with the Academy of Digital Arts to expose their students to a world-class international opportunity.
Students are invited to join the Academy of Digital Arts in the centre of Cape Town, South Africa, for a life-changing – and fully accredited – semester abroad.

Course credits will be converted into the German system, so your hard work won’t go to waste while you explore the best of South Africa’s cultural and creative hub.
Let Cape Town’s white-sand beaches, world-famous mountain ranges and vibrant, multi-cultural social scene ignite your creative spark, and enjoy all the big-city comforts of a thriving metropolis.
