Hobart and William Smith Colleges

Auckland, New Zealand

The study abroad program at the University of Auckland, on New Zealand's beautiful North Island, is designed in particular for students interested in Education. The New Zealand Program is offered in the spring semester in even years (2024, 2026, etc.) and is directed on-site by a HWS Educational Studies faculty member.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen is the capital of a sophisticated, affluent, democratic society with a modern economy. Students in the Denmark program may choose to live either with a Danish host family, in an international student residence or in a flat with a Danish roommate, each offering a different cultural immersion experience. A challenging academic environment, coupled with Copenhagen's cosmopolitan appeal, creates an opportunity for a unique off-campus experience.

Carmarthen, Wales

Trinity College is known for its commitment to community engagement and this commitment permeates its innovative curriculum. HWS students will have the opportunity to live and take classes alongside Welsh and international classmates. To facilitate engagement with the local community, all students must participate in an academic or extracurricular immersion experience; this may include a credit-bearing internship, a school practicum or a service-learning project.

Galway, Ireland

Hobart and William Smith Colleges maintain an affiliation with the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) to provide students with the opportunity to live and study among Irish students at an Irish university. Participants in the program are also encouraged to join one of the many university clubs and organizations in order to directly experience Irish student life and culture. A service learning project, required of all students and linked to the Director's Seminar, will provide a unique opportunity for students to gain access to the local community.
