Study Abroad Initiatives at UNH

International Exchange Opportunities
The University of New Haven offers an opportunity to study abroad through Exchange programs.  Students register for twelve credits of Study Abroad at UNH and then attend at the partner institution.  Current partners include Roehampton University (Germany) and Jaen University (Spain).

Faculty-Led International Study
This initiative supports faculty-led efforts to develop and promote group international study programs.

Freshman Semester Abroad Program
UNH students now have the opportunity to spend one semester of their first year studying at Roehampton University, an outstanding university just outside London.

International Tracks
In an effort to incorporate study abroad opportunities into existing University majors, the UNH faculty hopes to eventually identify an international track for each and every degree program at the University.

 

 
 
Testimonial

"For me, this experience was so much more than the traversing of four continents, three oceans, eleven countries, and more than 34,000 miles. It was about the human spirit working together to achieve a higher understanding of our world community. It transcended language barriers, broke down cultural stereotypes, and unified us in a bond of humanity. This experience has not only been life-changing, it has given me confidence in my independence, in my ability to make choices, and in my overwhelming desire to make a difference. After my ‘voyage of discovery' I have begun to explore some very difficult questions about our world and about my capabilities. While I am still searching for answers, I am very thankful for my experience and for the people who have forever changed my life."
