About Tunisia
A Country Worth Studying
Tunisia is North Africa's Mediterranean republic — a country where Carthage faced Rome, where Andalusian, Ottoman, Berber, and French heritages compose a single civic identity, and where the Sahara meets some of the most beautiful coastline in the Maghreb.
Bordered by Algeria and Libya with 1,300 km of Mediterranean coastline, Tunisia spans Roman ruins, Saharan oases, the Atlas mountains, and the cosmopolitan capital Tunis. The cohort is hosted in Hammamet — a celebrated coastal heritage town.
Why the Department Chose Tunisia
Academic Rationale
Tunisia was chosen because it represents Mediterranean civilisational depth in a single accessible study site. Eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a mature hospitality sector, an active community-based tourism movement, and direct flight access from Africa, Europe, and the Gulf. The natural bridge cohort between our Caribbean and forthcoming Asian programmes.
Field Sites & Cultural Anchors
Landmarks of Tunisia
Each cohort visits a curated selection of these sites — heritage, ecological, and cultural — for guided fieldwork and on-site lectures.

CulturalSidi Bou Said
The blue-and-white cliff village above the Gulf of Tunis — a living artists' colony and a model of heritage-conservation tourism.
