The Department
of Germanic Languages and Literatures of the
University of Illinois
invites you to participate in the Austria-Illinois
Exchange Program. You will spend a year in Vienna,
the historic capital of the multinational Habsburg
Empire, a melting pot of language and cultures,
and the crossroads between East and West. Salzburg,
Prague, Budapest, and Munich are only a few hours
away, while a day's train ride takes you to Venice
or Paris-- via the Orient Express.
Participation in
the program gives you the opportunity to
- develop German language fluency
and an understanding of European culture and
society while maintaining residency as a University
of Illinois student. Students from other colleges
and universities are encouraged to apply. Those
accepted are admitted to the U of I for the
Program only.
- experience a year (or a semester)
abroad with classmates from
the University of Illinois and well-qualified
students from other universities and colleges.
- receive University of Illinois
credit for study abroad. This
credit is transferable to other colleges and
universities.
- continue receiving most of
your University of Illinois and other forms
of financial aid while in Vienna.
Pell Grants, ISSC, and student and parent loans
apply to this program. Contact Joan Lund, Program
Accountant, LAS Departmental Study Abroad joanlund@uiuc.edu
for specific questions about the financial aid
you may have.
- Learn and improve your German
as you rub elbows with the Viennese in old-world
cafes, chat with Austrians in the market place,
attend theatrical and musical performances,
visit the city's many museums, hike in the Vienna
Woods, or ski in the Austrian Alps.
