Add first reviewVerifiedSince 1964

Spend your January Term in the elegant and scenic city of Salzburg, Austria, with AIFS Abroad! Immerse yourself in the charm of this peaceful city, the birthplace of Mozart and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The AIFS Abroad Global Education Center in Salzburg is located within walking distance from the old city, in a building complex with doctors' offices, restaurants, cafes, and shops. Students will take classes at the study center, relax in the lounge area in their free time, or work in the study space. This course will relate the music of an era to historical events, art, and literature within that period. Discussing the lives, individual styles and representative works of composers aims to impart facts as well as stimulate curiosity and enthusiasm. Emphasis is laid on Mozart, Salzburg’s genius loci, and students will be able to re-live much of what is taught through course-related field trips in Salzburg and Vienna. To help you get a true taste of Austrian culture, various activities will be organized: - Salzburg city tour - Visits to museums and galleries - Visit to a local pastry shop - Visit to an opera or concert
