Advisor/Important notes:
- Hybrid/Group Programs offer students the ability to learn alongside other global study students from US institutions at international study centers. Some hybrid/group programs allow students to enroll in a couple of courses at local universities, but a majority of these programs are taught by local faculty and professionals through an affiliated study abroad provider at their program’s academic center. These programs frequently offer courses that relate to the program location including language and culture classes, and they tend to focus less on STEM courses. On a vast majority of hybrid/group programs, students live with host families/homestays, providing them a great connection to the local culture.
- This program is only available for declared Music majors or German Studies majors & minors.
- Students typically stay in apartments about 30-40 minutes away from the study center. Music students will all be placed in apartments with practice rooms. European Studies students could choose to live in dormitories across the street from the Study Center, but past students have said they’ve preferred living further away as it helped them to become comfortable with using public transportation and get to know more of the city.
- MUSIC – offers musicology, practice rooms near or under student apartments. Doesn’t offer all instruments, but works for piano, strings, voice. Note: does not offer jazz, please see additional notes about specific instruments on the IES Vienna Music program website.
- GERMAN – offers a few courses taught in German, but the majority of courses will be taught in English.
