I learned to be able to trust in yourself and to try to understand the culture you are living in before you act or speak. Megan S - Benedictine University View Entire Review
In just six weeks, I grew tremendously as a performer and a student. The instructors were wonderful, and with plenty of performing experience, they were able to give us great advice on how to perfect our skills. I also enjoyed taking voice lessons with a woman who had a long career in opera. I was amazed at how much I improved ... Kacie D - Vanderbilt University View Entire Review
Every aspect of my life was impacted and honestly, all for the better. It was extremely worthwhile and I grew immensely in my time abroad. Dillon D - University of North Texas View Entire Review
Even though I had no previous German experience, I was set on going to Vienna which became one of the best decisions for me. IES has a great program that suited my academic needs, while keeping their system Americanized for familiarity's sake. There were plenty of interesting classes (taught in both English and German) to choose... Clara Yetter - Kenyon College View Entire Review

I gained an appreciation not just for what I was studying, but how what I was studying fit inside of the Viennese culture as a whole.

I learned what it is like to live under the shadow of having lost two world wars, how different Europe is to the US politically and culturally speaking, and a great deal of German. I believe it was worthwhile. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and my own capabilities. I also feel as though I have a better understanding of what it means to be American, and have the expanded sight of the affect America has globally.

It was definitely Worth it!!! I Plan on going back some day!! Amber L - Texas Lutheran University View Entire Review
This summer I had the privilege to study Music Performance in Vienna Austria through IES Abroad. Originally I was not excited to study abroad, but my experience in Austria changed my entire opinion of study abroad curriculum and opportunity. The IES Music Performance program in Vienna is an exquisite program filled with teac... Abby S - Bryn Mawr College View Entire Review

Vienna Summer - Music History & Performance: Located in the heart of Europe, Vienna is a city of about 1.8 million inhabitants that has, since its founding in the 3rd century, served as a bridge between a myriad of cultures. As an important crossroads between North and South, East and West, the city became a natural melting pot for new ideas. Out of this cultural richness has emerged a wealth of artistic accomplishments and innovative thinking—a heritage that we explore in our summer programs. Vienna has been home to many of history's greatest composers, from Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven to Brahms, Mahler, and Schoenberg. To this day, the world-renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Musikverein, and the Staatsoper continue to help make Vienna a true "city of music."

Vienna Summer - Psychology: As the famous psychologist Carl Rogers once said, "This is where all the trouble started!" In Vienna, the birthplace of psychoanalysis and home to Sigmund Freud and numerous other legendary psychologists, you can experience both the history and practice of psychology from a unique vantage point. Explore the richness of this city’s past and present in an academic environment specially designed for the student of Psychology. The program is organized into two topics: Psychology & Society, and Health Psychology & Communication. Students examining Psychology & Society learn about the emergence of psychology in Vienna and consider closely how different methodologies today both reflect and challenge Freud's legacy. Students studying Health Psychology & Communication take a more practical approach as they explore the field of counseling, and develop skills in listening and empathy.
