A Guide to Studying Abroad in Salvador

Popular Ways to Study in Salvador

When it comes to choosing a study abroad program in Salvador, you mightn’t be overwhelmed by the number of programs available. In fact, the range of courses on offer is much more refined than in many other locations. That’s because the city’s program offerings, just like most aspects of Salvador-ian life, are overwhelmingly niche.

Popular subjects to study. With a heavy focus placed on study materials which integrate closely with aspects of local culture, language, history and traditions, the topics tend to centre around these key tenets. Portuguese language courses are thus readily available. Students whose aspirations are a little more specific will be intrigued by programs investigating core elements of Afro-Brazilian culture. Programs in Salvador combine classroom based learning with excursions, bringing the study materials to life and adding to the level of cultural immersion up for grabs.

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. The language and cultural studies programs on offer lend themselves well to shorter, more focused study abroad experiences, usually lasting between one and two months. This is ideal for those studying at home, as the course can be sandwiched easily into a summer vacation. Students looking for longer term options should find suitable options too; as always, we encourage you to stay as long as you can to really get the most out of the experience.

Attending universities vs. other program types. Dependent upon your program preference, providers might be local universities, or organizations dedicated to study abroad delivery. Either way, you’ll be linked to a group of like minded international students, and hopefully some locals as well, with whom you can share the experience and integrate into local life.
