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.

A student Brandeis University
"I got a real sense for the feel of living in the UK, which will definitely inform my decision going forward whether to consider working in that country."
Raya Brandeis University
"I learned to study with more self discipline since there are only final exams at LSE. I also learned to party harder. Balancing those two is a skill that is definitely worth while to have."
Shekeyla C Brandeis University

maya v Brandeis University
"I had been abroad for a semester before in a different country, but this was a completely different experience for me. I learned a lot about myself; my tendencies and a lot deeper about my personality. I definitely learned how to get where I want to be, stand for myself, open myself up to making friends with Parisians, and take ..."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot not only about the marine environment but about the Turks and Caicos Islands and the people that live there. It was a very intensive program that fully integrated you into the community and the environment."
A student Brandeis University

Maya L Brandeis University
"How to be a good student."

A student Brandeis University
"I was taught by some truly brilliant members of London's theater community and feel that my theatrical skill grew leaps and bounds. I also learned that having to fend for yourself in an environment that is often harsh is rough but a very necessary skill. I would definitely consider my time in London worthwhile"
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot more Italian language and the fact that I could go to any country in the world and make a life for myself if I needed to do so. I would definitely go to Sicily again!"
A student Brandeis University
"I think that I learned more from spending my time outside of campus than I did in class. I gained street skills and shortcuts to adapting to an unfamiliar culture. I definitely think that it was a worthwhile experience and would not hesitate to do it again if the opportunity presents itself. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned mostly things about myself and how I function and learn and interact with others. It was difficult but rewarding and worthwhile."
Melanie P Brandeis University
"I learned more about myself and I was able to feel more comfortable with spanish as a main language."
A student Brandeis University
"It was definitely an amazing experience, but much different than what I had expected. It was also a very difficult experience emotionally, because the topics you are learning about, are not easy topics."
Emily B Brandeis University
"I gained so much from traveling. Honestly, since I did not like my program and Shabbat was difficult, I tried to travel as much as possible and I had such great experiences, mostly meeting up with brandeis friends who were studying in other countries during the semester. That aspect was worthwhile, but the program was so bad t..."
A student Brandeis University

A student Brandeis University
"I learned to become more cultural sensitive and to try new things. "
A student Brandeis University
"I gained a more complete sense of identity my time abroad. It was eye-opening, to say the least, to explore my Korean roots as a Korean-American college student. It definitely tied up a lot of loose ends while opening up more questions."
