Program Highlights

The program utilizes the EUFICCS model, a strategy developed over 20 years to integrate students into the local social fabric rather than keeping them in a "study abroad bubble"

Semester programs are strategically designed for a 12-week (85-day) duration. This specific length allows many students to participate without needing to apply for a student visa.

While French is the primary language of immersion and daily life, the program also offers a "Survival Dutch" course to help students navigate and respect Belgium’s trilingual identity.

Students live with local host families (both native Belgian and international) to experience daily life, share meals, and practice language skills in a natural setting.

Take advantage of free weekends for personal travel to Bruges, Antwerp, Amsterdam and elsewhere in Europe.
