Partnerships with foreign universities, facilitated by Temple University, open to Temple students only.

Exchange programs provide a full immersion experience at a foreign university for a semester or academic year. Typically, you will enroll in university classes with students from the host country and earn transfer credit for the courses you take. Since you pay Temple tuition rates, this is a very affordable option for the motivated student. Our exchange locations include: Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, and United Kingdom.

Programs run by other institutions that are approved by Temple University, open to Temple students only.

External Programs are study abroad programs administered or sponsored by other colleges, universities or study abroad organizations. Temple partners with these organizations to provide our students with additional program options and locations. External Programs offer a wide range of experiences, from study centers for U.S. students to directly enrolling at a foreign university to conducting research or fieldwork with small cohorts. External Program participants earn transfer credit for approved courses and can apply those credits towards the fulfillment of their degree requirements, including major, minor, elective and most general education requirements.

If you are an independent student looking for a fully immersive study abroad experience, then enrolling into a foreign institution could be a great option for you. When you enroll into a foreign institution, through an exchange program, a study abroad program provider, or directly with the institution, you can choose from a wide variety of courses across the university and typically take classes with local students. Students who take this option are expected to adapt to what is often a more self-directed educational system and quite unlike U.S. universities, so this is a great opportunity for full cultural integration and immersion.

These programs are located in study centers or institutes. They are run by study abroad program providers or U.S. institutions, so courses are more likely similar to courses in the U.S.  You will often choose courses from a set selection, and you will attend classes with other study abroad students.  Previous study of the host country language is often not required. Because you will be in class with and perhaps living with other study abroad students, you may need to take more initiative to integrate with the host culture.

These programs allow students to take one or two courses at a study center along with one or two courses at a host university.  This is a great choice for students looking for aspects of both study center programs and foreign university study.
