Program Overview:

This experience will not only help exapnd your understanding of the world, but also to gain considerable knowledge about your own individual strengths and weaknesses. Simply, accepting the challenge to be abroad inherently demonstrates qualities such as independence, self-confidence and adaptability. This program is annually scheduled during autumn season on September or October.
