Customized Short Term, Faculty-led, and Semester-long Programs

Interstudy provides a wide range of semester and year-long study abroad opportunities in Britain, Ireland, Botswana, and South Africa. Since 1996, Interstudy has developed partnerships with ten Southern African universities, making us the optimal choice for institutions seeking a diversity of program options in the region. Our partnerships in the British Isles date to our founding in 1980 and place Interstudy among the most experienced providers of facilitated direct enrollment study abroad programs in the UK and Ireland. Since our company’s founding, we have worked closely with our partners in the US and Canada to create customized programs to suit their needs. We welcome any enquiries to create short-term, adapted semester/year-long, or faculty-led programs.
