Whether you have a morning or afternoon class, it’s best to get up early and seize the day. Stroll down to a local cafe and get your caffeine fix. You might even run into your teacher getting theirs too.
Time to head to campus. Spend 3 hours learning from an industry expert teacher, with like-minded students. Share and present your ideas, with hands-on help from our teaching assistants.
After class, apply your learnings and perfect your course project. Head out for a bite to eat and brainstorm with your classmates, or grab a seat in the student lounge to merge your collective brain power.
Check your iX calendar for evening electives. Join a local cooking class in the city, or attend an iX professional development workshop – whatever floats your boat.
"My classroom was a glass box above a central café where students were studying together and chatting to CEOs on their coffee break."
Mark Steelman, iX 2017.
Time to make your way to work! Grab some breakfast at the corner bakery and join the city rush.
As you’re with one company for four weeks, it’s easier to deep-dive into your assigned project. Seek out the guys in charge and spend time asking questions, dedicating yourself to applying your newly learned skill in a professional environment.
By now, you’re familiar with the city, and probably keen to explore on your own steam. Spend evenings soaking in a sunset or hitting up all the foodie hotspots you can squeeze in. There are still occasional electives, and our iX team members are always arranging get togethers, so join the crew or ride solo. You do you.
"I had never been in a work environment that made me so happy and motivated to work with full effort."
It's time to get ready for your weekend excursion. In Cape Town, you might hit the waves for a group surf lesson, snorkel with seals, or take part in a cultural tour that might involve learning some slick dance moves. Whatever it is, you can be sure that it’s going to be exhilarating.
Free time means exploring with your new friends, catching up with family and friends back home, or unwinding before another week of learning and growth.
If you’re living life as an intern, weekends mean total freedom! Head out of the city and visit world renowned wine farms, or arrange a trip to another town along the coast. If your folks are visiting, it’s also an opportunity to show off the city you’ve been calling home for the last few weeks.
"I went surfing, ate at a food market that seemingly had food from every culture, and went to a beer festival filled with many thriving local breweries – all during my first weekend."
"After two months of learning and adventuring in the most magical place I could imagine, I am returning to school confident in my decision to major in Computer Science and am relatively certain that I want to be a software engineer after I graduate."
"This was the best summer / intern / study abroad ever. iX is an incredible opportunity to learn how to make amazing stuff, better than half the nonsense you see on the web, as well as see beautiful Cape Town that you've heard so much about."
"Being able to build a functional app in a matter of weeks seemed impossible at the start, but iX made it happen for every student. Cape Town is a city that stole my heart and I only wish I could've had more time to be immersed in it longer."
"For me, iX presented a world of opportunities I hadn't yet considered. Learning about a new industry, exploring an incredible country, embarking on exhilarating adventures, and getting hands-on experience in an internship with an international company made for an unbelievable summer."
"iX is a program that combines cultural immersion and self-exploration, in addition, to a set of business acumen that allows you to jump start your career. Over the course of 8 weeks, I've learned what it means to become a consultant, dined in some of the tastiest restaurants in the world, explored and experienced South Africa to its fullest."
"iXperience provided me with a truly incredible summer. Not only did I learn concrete skills which I immediately applied in my internship, but I also forged meaningful friendships while exploring an exciting new place. iXperience pushed me to grow as a student and as a person."
"iX was the best summer of my life. From the people and the classes to all of the crazy weekend activities and the internship, I've never learned so much in such a short amount of time. IX also has prepared me for the upcoming interview process and I feel confident and ready to succeed."
"iX was a truly awesome experience, meshing invaluable finance related experience with adventure, friendship, and new perspectives. I would recommend this to anyone who is not only interested in gaining a deep insight into the world of finance, but also interested in discovering a new city and culture!"
"iXperience was a magical summer that could never be replicated. I was able to sky dive (twice!), bungee jump (twice!), shark cage dive, and sand board for the first time! I also learned practical financial modeling skills, which I used during my internship, with one of the best lecturers I've ever had."
"I learned more than I ever imagined, explored one of the most beautiful cities in the world. iX gave me a chance to escape the familiar - I never imagined I would jump off the tallest bungee jumping bridge in the world or get face-to-face with Great Whites. Similarly, I never imagined I'd create a ridesharing app in the first month."
"iX goes above and beyond to not only teach the students a whole language, but to make sure that every student has the summer of their lifetime. I couldn't imagine a better city to move to for two months. My only warning is you'll never want to go home!"
"iX meant developing a new skill with a new group of people. It meant broadening my horizons and taking a risk to step out of my comfort zone. Mostly importantly, iX meant challenging myself both mentally and physically to push my boundaries."
"iX is a world of opportunity. I couldn't imagine there is a better summer program out there in terms of how much you will learn and what there is to do around you. I will be remembering my days in Cape Town for a long time to come. "
"iXperience was a one of a kind learning and cultural immersion. I gained experience and knowledge both inside and outside of the classroom in ways I never had before. I can now say that I have incredible new skills and have used what I learned to make an impact at a start up company in Cape Town."
"IX was an opportunity to grow and discover. To explore a dynamic and captivating country, develop practical technical skills, and leave behind the comfort of the familiar to join a diverse assembly of scholars, artists, and adventurers at the edge of the world."
"The magic of iXperience is so powerful that it could create successful developers, consultants, bankers, or even astronauts if that’s who its students wanted to be."
