Studying abroad ranks among the most profoundly transformative experiences available to a 19- to 21-year-old undergraduate student.
Dear Students,
The restriction on student international travel for university-related purposes has been extended to May 31, 2021, per University leadership. The UVA Education Abroad and ISO websites have been updated to reflect this decision. For essential international travel for University-related purposes, advanced graduate students and GME residents may request an exemption to the suspension of student international travel. They can email hoosabroad@virginia.edu
Sincerely,
Engineering International Programs

Engineering International Program's goal is to enable every UVA Engineering undergraduate student to obtain a significant international experience. School of Engineering International Programs offers information, advising and logistical support to engineering students interested in study, work or service learning abroad.
Here are just a few examples of the things students can do:
- Work with NGO partners in underdeveloped communities in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua in housing, education, public health, and economic development
- Join a group of UVA engineering and commerce students to design a solution for an industry client in Argentina
- Take all third or fifth-semester engineering and math courses in Valencia, Spain (in English!)
- Spend a month during the summer exploring German engineering through site visits to Mercedes-Benz, Bosch, the Max Planck Institutes, and university research labs
- Spend 6-8 weeks in the summer in Daegu, South Korea at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology working on a research project
Refer to the following guide "UVA Engineering Advising Sheet" for a thorough description of the study abroad process.
