I learned how I fit into the world, and that it's possible to make your home anywhere. I would absolutely do it again, and wish I could. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I got to study with a master violinist, perform a lot, see major ensembles like the Vienna Phil and Vienna State Opera for free or for very cheap, take classes that I could use for my major, and meet a lot of locals, one of them being a lifelong friend that I'll never forget. I also learned so much more German in just one semest... Sabrina Boggs - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
As an international student studying in the US, I had a different approach to "studying abroad". I was already abroad so why would I go? Well, I'm glad I did! For me, it wasn't my first time traveling or staying at a different country for more than a month. For me, it was a great opportunity to be back at a culture that is relat...

I learned the language and the culture of Vienna, as well as interesting information about child development. It was worthwhile because I got to experience something new, and I like novelties. Annahita Modirrousta - Miami University View Entire Review
I was immersed into the culture through classes with learning the language and also taking field trips. Vienna was a very safe city, so I could go out and explore with others, but also did not feel scared to go out and explore by myself. I also got the chance to take field trips with the program to Semmering, Austria and Budapes... Erika Coy - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and how I am able to cope with social differences and travel issues. The program definitely helped me to mature and changed my outlook on the world from an American point of view to a global one. Taylor Reisz - Wofford College View Entire Review
I loved Vienna! It is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve been in. Vienna offers you everything a big city has with a small-town vibe. There was something happening almost every night whether it be an opera, a jazz bar showcase, or a ball. The music program was amazing. All the music staff I interacted with were performing in ...

7 new countries, over 10 new cities, a plethora of cultural experience A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned how to live on my own, explore new places, and travel on a budget! I also learned how to adapt to a new culture quickly. I think all those skills are important to have. Claire Murphy - University of San Diego View Entire Review
Hearing so much great music performed by many fantastic musicians, I was eager to work on my own technique. I took voice lessons and received one-on-one coachings. I collaborated with other singers and instrumentalists during a performance workshop class. I took a class a specialized music theory class, studying Fidelio and Die ... Mara Lane - Knox College View Entire Review
Even though I had no previous German experience, I was set on going to Vienna which became one of the best decisions for me. IES has a great program that suited my academic needs, while keeping their system Americanized for familiarity's sake. There were plenty of interesting classes (taught in both English and German) to choose... Clara Yetter - Kenyon College View Entire Review
I grew as a musician, and learned about what I wanted to pursue in the future. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience abroad enhanced my studies as a music major, bringing history to life, literally, as I got to watch and perform works in their original settings and location. I also gained personally as I discovered more about myself, like that I have a spontaneous side. I challenged myself and experienced true growth as a person ... Alli Jones - Texas Christian University View Entire Review
It was definitely a worthwhile experience! I gained new confidence both in myself as an individual but also in my ability to meet and connect with new people all over the world. I also gained insight into the cultural differences that come with each country I visited. Margaret Young - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Before this program, I had never thought about visiting Austria, I didn’t speak German, and had no idea what to expect. Once I arrived, I was shocked by how much I loved the culture, people, food, and atmosphere. You can spend hours uninterrupted in a coffee shop, or stroll through the stunning streets of the first district. The... Grace Konstantin - Tufts University View Entire Review

Vienna Summer - Music History & Performance: Located in the heart of Europe, Vienna is a city of about 1.8 million inhabitants that has, since its founding in the 3rd century, served as a bridge between a myriad of cultures. As an important crossroads between North and South, East and West, the city became a natural melting pot for new ideas. Out of this cultural richness has emerged a wealth of artistic accomplishments and innovative thinking—a heritage that we explore in our summer programs. Vienna has been home to many of history's greatest composers, from Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven to Brahms, Mahler, and Schoenberg. To this day, the world-renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Musikverein, and the Staatsoper continue to help make Vienna a true "city of music."

Vienna Summer - Psychology: As the famous psychologist Carl Rogers once said, "This is where all the trouble started!" In Vienna, the birthplace of psychoanalysis and home to Sigmund Freud and numerous other legendary psychologists, you can experience both the history and practice of psychology from a unique vantage point. Explore the richness of this city’s past and present in an academic environment specially designed for the student of Psychology. The program is organized into two topics: Psychology & Society, and Health Psychology & Communication. Students examining Psychology & Society learn about the emergence of psychology in Vienna and consider closely how different methodologies today both reflect and challenge Freud's legacy. Students studying Health Psychology & Communication take a more practical approach as they explore the field of counseling, and develop skills in listening and empathy.
