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.

"The whole thing was worthwhile. I met awesome kids and explored an awesome city, while learning Spanish."
Jordan T Brandeis University
"Studying in Japan was right in line with my East Asian Studies major. The only real trouble I had, was the cost of living in Tokyo. Transportation, food, and entertainment costs can quickly rack up if you're not careful. However, Tokyo is a very safe city in terms of crime rate. Even in you drop/lose your cellphone or wallet, yo..."

"See above. I loved the program. The only hard part was studying during what in the US is summer. On the bright side, the program is only two months; most universities don't begin until end of August, early September leaving almost a month and a half of summer vacation. "

"This is not my first time in China, but I had still to learn so much about this amazing country. It was definatelly worthwhile and I would do it all over again.

In England, internet is NOT everywhere, there's not even internet in Starbucks, the only place with free wi-fi is McDonald's. Also there's a 1 GB bandwidth limit on int..."

"My experience is China was without a doubt worthwhile. "
James F Brandeis University
"My study abroad experience was amazing. I learned so much about the Czech republic, Prague, Jewish history and European history in general. I also had a fabulous time living on my own in a foreign country and traveling. Prague is very centrally located in Europe which means easy quick and cheap travel to tons of places! "
