Every student's future will be impacted by increasingly complex issues that transcend national boundaries— economy, migration, conflict, climate, disease, food systems and more. Through our study abroad programs you can gain the capacity and skills to recognize, understand, analyze and respond to these global challenges.
Study Abroad Programs by Department
The School of Nursing has links with nursing programs in Wales, England, Russia, Australia, and Belize. Opportunities for short-term educational exchanges are available.
Nursing students can also apply for an International Research Opportunities Grant (IROP), allowing them to conduct research with a faculty member at a foreign university under the guidance of a UNH faculty member.
Recreation Management and Policy undergraduate students can take advantage of education abroad experiences through many UNH partner or faculty-led programs. Education abroad is encouraged and typically completed during a student’s junior year. Planning for an education abroad experience can begin with the student’s academic advisor and UNH Global Education.
Comparative Social Welfare Systems: Dublin, Republic of Ireland / Belfast, Northern Ireland
Twelve days in a country of abundant natural beauty, magnificent stately homes and warm, welcoming people with a fascinating—and sometimes “ferocious”—history. Students spend time in the heart of Dublin, one of Western Europe’s most popular and vibrant cities, and in Northern Ireland, touring cultural and historic sites while learning about child and family services with a focus on the ongoing peace and reconciliation process.
Participants meet with practicing social workers and social work students. A major focus is understanding the dynamics of the Irish/Anglo Troubles, the oppression and trauma of the violent years and, importantly, how communities and individuals work toward healing.
SW 785/885 Comparative Social Welfare Systems is offered during the first summer session.
