Brandeis University
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.

"Yes it was very worthwhile"
Fred B Brandeis University
"I became very comfortable living in Jerusalem, and learned a great deal about Israel in every aspect. My Hebrew radically improved, and I made so many lifelong friends from all over the world. Not only was this experience worthwhile, but it changed me forever. I feel that I now have a much wider perspective on the world, and hav..."

"Because Sydney is a multicultural city, every individual gains a sense of the cultural differences it offers. The Australian culture is completely different from any other in the world. They are full of happiness, passion, helpfulness, etc. Moreover, it was worthwhile! If it were for me, I would have stayed in Sydney for several..."

"I learned what it was like working in the international relations field which is somewhere I definitely do not see myself in the future. I'm glad I had the experience, but I now know that I'd rather work for an NGO doing field work than doing policy work. "
Sigrid S Brandeis University
"Knowing what type of artist I want to be and what I want to do with my life. This program made me realize how vital theater is for humanity. It gave me enough confidence to be taking huge risks for the rest of my life."
Jade G Brandeis University
"Absolutely worthwhile- an amazing opportunity. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so many things it is hard to state just a few..I learned that group decision making is huge in a small group so someone really needs to take charge to help make decisions. I learned the culture and history of Nicaragua. I learned issues and current events of the population. I learned the effect the US has had on other ..."
Mollie K Brandeis University
"I learned so much... it's hard to explain briefly. I learned a lot about traveling, living independently, navigating new cities and cultures, and immersing myself in ways and places I am interested in. I loved this experience and would recommend studying abroad to anyone even slightly interested."
A student Brandeis University
"Ultimately you only get out of an experience what you put in. My time in London was worthwhile because I made sure it would be. I connected to local art and culture communities that kept me busy and learning. "
Malika I Brandeis University

"English culture/lifestyle. It was worthwhile because it broadened my views and gave me the chance to experience something different."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained a wealth of knowledge about myself and I made the best group of friends I could ever ask for. It was the best thing I could have ever decided to do. I do not regret any part of it one bit."
Anne C Brandeis University
"My semester in Edinburgh was definitely worthwhile. Edinburgh is a great location for a semester abroad. I gained an appreciation for Scottish history and culture, a heightened sense of independence, and some incredible experiences traveling around the UK and Europe."

Zion G Brandeis University
"I would do a program at Sydney University, a large school with challenging classes"
peter.walton.9465 Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about the Netherlands, the United States by comparison and myself. This experience was amazing but definitely more so on the personal level than an academic one. I suggest anyone looking to expand and explore themselves in a new, safer environment to consider this program. Particularly queer and allied folk. I ha..."
Dillon H Brandeis University
"yes"
A student Brandeis University
"I don't think I can even begin to summarize what I learned in this little box. It was more than worthwhile and I don't think I could've picked a better place to go to truly experience living abroad."
Sara F Brandeis University

Nicole d Brandeis University
