University Information
The Office of Study Abroad supports Brandeis students who participate on any of our 300 approved programs in some 65 different countries around the world.
On average 40% of the junior class studied abroad during the academic year while still more students took advantage of various international opportunities in the summer. There is a huge diversity of transformative experiences that Brandeis students have engaged in abroad including studying biodiversity conservation hands on in Panama, conducting ethnographic research on sacred figures in Mongolia, interning with Parliament in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, and interning in special education classrooms in Sydney, Australia to name a few.
Whatever your story, journey or adventure is destined to be, come by our office to learn more about the steps to going away!
Additionally, by logging in to Abroad101, all approved programs will be tagged with an "Approved" badge.

"Going abroad (and with DIS) was definitely the best decision I've ever made. DIS was perfect because I felt immersed in Danish society but they also gave us several weeks of travel breaks, so I was also able to inexpensively travel around Europe during the program. I learned a lot about myself abroad, and a lot about different c..."

"If you have the chance to go abroad, DO IT! I learned a lot about myself and what my previous experiences had prepared me for and what I wasn't prepared for. I think that there are probably a lot of things I've learned from this experience that I don't even realize yet."
