the chance to learn from professors who have done important research in Africa—from the study of how religion and ethnicity affect political transitions to health research, to the implementation of community development projects. In addition to classroom learning, we offer you the chance to experience these topics firsthand through our study abroad programs in Uganda and Senegal. ASIA Through the Asia Intern program, Notre Dame provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to offices, businesses, and organizations throughout Asia. In addition, we offer study abroad opportunities in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Nagoya, Tokyo, and Taiwan, where you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in some of the world’s richest, oldest, and most influential cultures. EUROPE Spend a summer working on a research project funded by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies. By studying key issues in contemporary Europe, such as nationalism, citizenship, ethnicity, immigration, and Europe’s role in global affairs, students who engage with the Institute are uniquely prepared to work and grow within the international community. Our European study abroad opportunities include multiple cities in France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. BEYOND THE GLOBE At Notre Dame, you won’t just be encouraged to explore new countries—you’ll have the chance to explore new physical realms. Through seminars, colloquia, and research opportunities, students in physics have completed research about thermodynamic properties, astrophysical phenomena, and the events directly following the Big Bang. In addition to on-campus research, past students have traveled to Osaka, Japan, to conduct experiments at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics. It’s global exploration, on a new level.
