What can I study abroad?

When you have made the decision to study abroad, you need to consider what form your studies should take. There are several possibilities:

· Internships

· Thesis/Fieldwork

· Summer schools/clinics

· Exchange

Your choice will depend in part on why you have decided to study abroad. Do you want to spend a whole semester or year abroad because you want to immerse yourself in a new culture and language on a longer term basis while you pursue your studies? Or is a shorter summer school more feasible for you? What fits best into your programme (when and where)?
