SU campus
The city campus of SU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Mogadishu has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books.
There are several options to stay in the country after graduation. One of them is to get an offer from an employer and apply for a work visa. Read more about this on the embassy website. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
