Northeastern Programme grows in popularity!

In just two years, the TSiBA/Northeastern field study programme has become one of Northeastern University's (NU) flagship field study programmes ever. Applications for the 2010 field study programme closed on December 7, 2009.  An overwhelming response from NU students interested in participating, forced NU to close the advertisement merely two weeks later.


Last year they weren't fully booked until May!

This is especially remarkable as 20 NU students participated in 2009, whereas 40 will visit us in 2010! Each NU student has to pay $8 738 (approximately R70 000) to participate.

A special thank you to everybody who has been involved! We look forward to welcoming the NU students in July this year. Visit http://www.northeastern.edu/oisp/step1/programs/short_term_facultyled/africa_field/ for more information.
