Trinity in Vienna: Study Abroad in Austria

This program is based at the prestigious University of Vienna and is open to students in all disciplines, but designed especially for Philosophy students.  Vienna, the capital of Austria, is home to 1.6 million people.  It is one of the great cultural centers of Europe with a continuous history of more than 2000 years.  Vienna has produced many preeminent philosophers and remains a center of academic excellence.  It is among the most important European cities: historically, culturally, artistically, intellectually, and geopolitically.  The University of Vienna is one of the oldest German-speaking universities in the world and one of Europe’s best institutions of higher learning.  The University has many strong curricular options in English in areas such as Philosophy, International Studies, Political Science, English, and American Studies.  Students with no previous German enroll in courses taught at the university in English with Austrian and international students.  Students who have had four to five semesters of college-level German may enroll in courses in the German language, selecting from the university’s extensive departments and faculties.  There are also university courses offered in French and other languages.  All students study intensive German, take a program core course in Viennese and Central European Culture and Society, and have the option of doing an internship at a local museum or cultural organization.  There is also a second core course in philosophy that is taken by all philosophy majors that is open to other interested students
