Go Abroad

Match Your Interests to the Many Opportunities

Interested in studying abroad for an academic year in the UK or possibly a semester in Australia or South Africa?  Want to improve your foreign language skills by spending a summer in China or heading to Spain during IAP?  How about combining a study-abroad experience with an internship in France or Hong Kong?   

Hundreds of MIT students have studied abroad over the years and you can too!  MIT offers both short and long-term options to fit your academic needs and your career goals.  Not only can you apply for a program managed by MIT such as the Cambridge-MIT Exchange (CME), you can also apply directly to universities abroad or to programs offered by outside study-abroad providers.  Programs for specific majors allow you to study in several different countries in one semester. 

The key to making study abroad part of your MIT experience is to understand your options and start planning early. With proper planning, you can earn transfer credit for your work abroad and still graduate on time.  In fact, you may be able to participate in more than one study abroad program before you leave MIT, so start exploring now!
