Study Trip

Educational journey 2010 to South Africa
University of Cape Town

This year the annual study trip from the Institute of Information Systems will take the students to South Africa. The trip is part of the Operations Research Module of the Master course but can be attended by both Bachelor and Master students. During this trip, the students will attend guest lectures at the University of Cape Town, which is well known for Operations Research and mathematical programming.

Founded in 1829, UCT has a proud tradition of academic excellence and effecting social change and development through its pioneering scholarship, faculty and students. It is also renowned for its striking beauty, with its campus located at the foot of Table Mountain's Devil's Peak, with panoramic views of much of Cape Town.

Besides attending lectures at the UCT, the students will participate in an industrial tour which is organized to impart knowledge about business and production standards in South Africa. It is also planned that the sudents will visit a township. Townships had been built during the Apartheid and are urban living areas, which were reserved for non-whites.
