Study, research and the door into Seychelles
Knowledge is how a small nation punches above its weight, and it is how students, academics and journalists first find this site and then cite it. This desk serves two people at once: the Seselwa reaching outward for an education, and the foreigner reaching in toward the islands.
Seychelles Abroad is a door that swings both ways. If you are Seselwa and want to study abroad, the Government scholarship scheme and the big funded routes like Chevening are mapped here with an honest calendar. If you are a foreigner drawn to Seychelles to study, research, work, marry or invest, the real rules and the official offices are here too, with nothing to sell you.

- Seychelles keeps two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Aldabra Atoll and the Vallée de Mai [UNESCO]
