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.

"Learned more about the culture. "
A student Brandeis University
"Despite all the obstacles, I would choose to study abroad all over again. I learned a lot about French culture that I could only learn while in Paris. "
A student Brandeis University
"It was absolutely worth it, but the lack of immersion in my program made it hard to really feel part of the Danish culture. "
A student Brandeis University
"Because the program was very poorly directed and run, my peers and I had to figure out how to make the experience worthwhile on our own. We planned our own trips and excursions and had the most amazing time with things we planned ourselves. "
A student Brandeis University
"My internship placement was the best part about my experience. I was able to acquire work experience in an international setting and learned to adapt to the cultural differences. The program was worth it because of the internship!"
A student Brandeis University
"I have learnt a lot about Danish culture, education, and scientific research. It was worthwhile in terms of having a hub/home in Europe while exploring the region and of learning about the country im depth."
A student Brandeis University
"It was definitely worthwhile and gave me new insight into my own Italian heritage. I learned to be more adventurous and to seize advantage of opportunities- life is to short to second guess ourselves. Before studying abroad, I had always dreamed of traveling but had never had the opportunity to do so. Boarding that plane alone a..."

"Work experience in the international work space "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself in terms of how I act in different circumstances and difficult situations. I also identified some less adaptable and accepting parts of myself, which helped me see what I need to work on and opened me up to new points of view."
A student Brandeis University

"It was a worthwhile experience"
A student Brandeis University
"Acceptance, Perspectives, and additional family. Worth it. "
Carmela Belizaire Brandeis University
"I improved my understanding of art, and I learned how to make books and metal jewelry. I got really comfortable traveling alone in a foreign country. I experienced a lot of aspects of Italian culture. I also gained a lot of social confidence from learning to overcome the language barrier. These are all major benefits, however, I..."
A student Brandeis University
"I can't answer that question in a box. If someone would like to hear my thoughts, they can email me and we can arrange to speak in person. "
Hannah D Brandeis University

Abraham W Brandeis University
"I have to be more out-going and make more local friends. "

A student Brandeis University
"How to advocate for myself and become more independant"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned to be much more independent. I am thoroughly in love with Tel Aviv and am so grateful for the opportunity to have started an internship I loved and meet really wonderful Israelis. Though I didn't love the program itself, I am glad it afforded me the opportunity to be in Tel Aviv as a student."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned that I definitely wanted to be a part of an intensive program. I learned how to walk into myself. Created structure for independent study. It was certainly worthwhile "
