Mia Wynberg van der Lingen’s Erasmus+ exchange between UCT and Sciences Po , where she studied Politics, offered more than academic growth, it reshaped how she understands power, inequality and policy within a global context.
During her time at Sciences Po, Mia collaborated with peers from diverse backgrounds, highlighting the value of international exposure.
Her journey demonstrates how studying abroad broadens perspectives, strengthens academic development and prepares students to operate in an increasingly interconnected world. Her experience also reflects the strength of UCT’s long-standing partnership with Sciences Po, now marked by the launch of its first-ever collaborative degree programmes in Africa.
