- Students who have been found responsible for a code of conduct violation are subject to additional review and may not be eligible.

*Students will be given the opportunity in their applications to petition for an exception if they do not meet each of these criteria. Petitioning does not guarantee acceptance; students who do not meet the eligibility requirements are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Temple Education Abroad understands that circumstances related to COVID-19 have presented unique challenges to students that may affect their academic progress. We will take this situation into consideration when evaluating petitions for an exception.

Students are typically notified of an admission or waitlist decision within two weeks of submitting a completed application. You can check the capacity status of upcoming programs.

Because of the nature of the program, a limited number of opportunities are available for qualified Temple and non-Temple students to participate in a special for-credit internship program in Belgrade, Serbia.

Applications for the Serbia program will be reviewed on a rolling basis; however, students are encouraged to apply early as space is limited to twelve participants. Once the program fills, qualified applicants may be placed on a waitlist.

Additional Eligibility Requirements

Temple’s College of Public Health requires students engaging in fieldwork to obtain background clearances and certain immunizations, and complete specific trainings. As a student participating in this program, you must satisfy these requirements. More details will be provided to accepted students. Please contact the faculty director with any questions.
