On Belgrade, Budapest, and Vienna: Comparative European Perspectives on Conflict and Democracy, spend your semester in three European capitals and engage with sophisticated analyses of Europe’s most complex challenges around the future of war, peace, and democracy. Analyze the continent’s most pressing sociopolitical and economic challenges—including the war in Ukraine—and how they intersect with issues of mass migration, refugee crises, and the rise of far-right nationalism and populism. You will examine the threat of illiberal democracies on the future of political organizing and evaluate the impacts of civic engagement and social movements from the streets of large urban centers, where everyday citizens are demanding change.

An amazing experience in an often overlooked city!
July 10, 2024by: Oli Kamenarovska - MacedoniaProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Belgrade, Budapest, and ViennaAs someone who's studied abroad multiple times, I was beyond excited to participate in a program closer to home! Initially, I wanted to come out of the experience with a little bit better Serbian, and some new friends and experiences! Upon completing the program, I realized I got those and much more! During my three and a half months in Serbia, I had an incredible host family and gained relationships I hope to foster for life. My favorite part of the program was its internship component, which allowed me to connect with the local culture more by interning at a local organization that perfectly fits into what I want to do in the future!
Once in a lifetime experience!
July 10, 2024by: Josephine Hall - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Belgrade, Budapest, and ViennaI participated in this program during the spring 2024 semester. I had never been to Europe prior to the program, and was unfamiliar with the Balkan region aside from some historical context. During the program I gained invaluable perspective on the region and Europe, experienced the culture first-hand through day-to-day life and my host family, and made lifelong friendships. I really enjoyed the excursion aspect of the program where we got to visit other countries and learn comparatively. I would recommend this program to any student interested in expanding their studies internationally and eager to step outside their comfort zone!
