Besides strengthening language skills that will allow you to access philosophical texts in the original language, studying abroad is an invaluable experience that broadens your horizon and perspective on things. You may consider either short-term intensive language courses, or (if you have the required language skills) you may consider studying philosophy in another country for a year.

There are numerous funding opportunities sponsored by the UO that you can find listed below. If you are not a U.S. citizen, other funding opportunities may be available for you in your own country.

If you are planning to take philosophy courses in a foreign language you should be aware that most scholarships and exchange programs require at least 2 years of college-level in the language spoken at the university one wishes to attend.

Contacts:
You may contact the Office of International Affairs for more information about UO sponsored programs. If you wish to study philosophy abroad for a year, consult either with the director of undergraduate studies or with another UO philosophy faculty member you took classes with to hear about philosophy departments abroad that offer classes in your area of interest.
