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 Department of Nursing is pleased to announce the approval of the Alliance for Global Education's Public Health and Indian Students program for senior nursing student's public health and child health courses. The Public Health and Indian Students track at Manipal University capitalizes on the long-standing reputation of this private university's medical and health science programs, offering students direct-enroll course options addressing rural public health, global public health, national health policy and Ayurveda. This program is offered by the Alliance for Global Education, a UNH-approved program.
For nursing students to receive nursing credit for this experience, a department application must be completed and approved by the review committee. Grade point average, maturity, motivation, and references are considered.
The Department of Nursing also 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 in many UNH managed, approved or exchange programs. Education abroad is encouraged and typically done in a student’s Junior year. Coordination for an education abroad can begin with the student’s academic advisor and UNH Global.
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. Time in the heart of Dublin, one of “Western Europe’s most popular and delightful urban destinations”, and the rest of the time in Northern Ireland: touring cultural and historic venues, learning about child and family services with an underlying focus on the continuing peace and reconciliation process in Northern Ireland.
We 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 most importantly, how a community and individuals heal.
SW 785/885 Comparative Social Welfare Systems is offered during the first summer session.
