… are you interested in studying abroad?

 

Going abroad during the course of your academic studies is becoming increasingly important in a globalized world. It allows you to improve your language skills and acquire valuable intercultural competences. It also gives you the opportunity to experience different academic cultures and gain insights into local research perspectives of the partner university in your area of study.

The University of Innsbruck maintains partnerships with various universities in the Americas that offer students the opportunity to spend a semester abroad. The exchange programs offer many benefits such as the exemption from or reduction of tuition fees as well as assistance in the application process and the organization of the study abroad. Applicants have access to networks of students who have already studied at a partner university and are willing to share their experiences.

Here you will find information about the exchange programs in Canada, the USA and various countries in Latin America.
