Study Abroad

Your engineering degree can take you further than the classroom—it can take you around the world. The College of Engineering and Computer Science’s international study programs are designed to broaden your perspective, deepen your cultural understanding, and connect you with peers across the globe.

Study Abroad experiences don’t just enrich your life; they make you a stronger candidate in a job market that increasingly values global awareness and cross-cultural competency. Best of all, Syracuse University’s global centers let you take required courses while studying abroad, so you can explore the world and still graduate on time.

To participate, students must be in good academic and judicial standing with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better and enrolled in one of Syracuse University’s engineering, computer science, systems and information science, or equivalent programs. Participants must also meet any language requirements of the host country program.

London Experience

Your immersion into London life comes from living in your own flat, where you will discover that you are part of the city’s huge assortment of smaller towns, each with its own distinct character.

The Syracuse London Center is in Bloomsbury, the heart of academic London, and the staff and faculty of Faraday House are ready to help you have the experience of a lifetime.

Strasbourg Experience

Strasbourg is a vibrant city on the border of France and Germany. You’ll begin your semester with a traveling seminar throughout the region, and you’ll have access to the activities and field trips arranged by the staff at the SU Strasbourg Center.

During the summer the College has approved a series of independent study research projects to be conducted at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées in Strasbourg. Research projects are arranged in the major branches of engineering: aerospace, civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, bioengineering, and computer science.

As an engineering intern in Strasbourg, you’ll be placed on a team of doctoral students and faculty. You’ll work as an integral part of this team on a university project and in university laboratories and research centers. Interested students may request specific information regarding projects for credit pre-approval. Since the projects are ongoing, the nature of work may vary at the time of arrival.

Florence Experience

Enjoy a semester abroad while staying on track for graduation.

You’ll live in Florence, a city that lives fully in both its past and its present – walking down narrow Roman streets, you’ll gain a sense of the layering of centuries that characterizes the city. You’ll live with an Italian host family and have access to all of the activities and field trips arranged by the staff at the SU Florence Center.

Santiago, Chile
This option is for students ready to enroll in university classes in Spanish. A Spanish language exam is given upon arrival, which will determine whether you should continue language study. In addition to taking classes in Spanish at local Chilean universities, you’ll enroll in the required Signature Seminar, Contemporary Issues in Latin America. (A minimum of two years of college-level Spanish is required.)

Dublin
University College Dublin’s Belfield campus is a vibrant, modern university situated on a spacious and leafy campus about a 20-minute bus ride from Dublin City Centre. It is one of the 30 top research universities in the European Union with a student population of 22,000 (2,000 international students). Syracuse students choose from the same range of courses as full-degree students and are taught and examined in the same manner.

Depending on a variety of factors, including advanced placement (AP) credit, transfer credit, completed prerequisites, and major requirements, some programs may fit some students’ curricula better than others. Early planning is key. Speak with your faculty advisor and the ECS Records Office to see which programs, based on your major, best match your interests and needs.
