The Euro Major: Study Abroad

Comprehensive understanding of the forces shaping contemporary Europe requires experiential cultural knowledge and functional foreign language proficiency, in addition to academic study. EURO majors are therefore strongly encouraged to participate in full-immersion study abroad programs that enable them to attend regular university courses in the target language, along with students from the host country.

UNC’s Study Abroad Office offers well over 100 academic year, semester, and summer programs in Western Europe.  Visit their webpage to perform a comprehensive search of available programs by multiple criteria, including location, language, term, and cost.  Students are encouraged to make an appointment with the appropriate study abroad advisor for assistance in selecting and applying for programs.

Below is a brief selection of programs especially appropriate for students majoring in Contemporary European Studies. Check back for regular updates.
