History is taught worldwide and has hundreds of areas of specialization, so where you choose to study history abroad depends largely on what your areas of interest are and what career path you hope to follow.
If your specialty is ancient, or classical history, Egypt or Jordan are logical choices, and both are also good if you’re interested in doing field study or want a scientific edge to your experience abroad, such as working on archaeological or anthropological digs. Most history study abroad programs in Egypt are based in Cairo, which is a fairly inexpensive city to live in by international standards, with plentiful housing and good public transportation. Many universities in Cairo offer history courses in English, as well as some in Alexandria.
For students who want to combine the exploration of ancient history with modern-day emerging political and economic powerhouses, China or India are good choices for studying history abroad. China’s role in the world – politically, economically and culturally – continues to grow, as it is one of the most rapidly changing countries in the world. Consequently, study abroad programs in China are also on the rise. Beijing and Shanghai are cultural centers and have the largest range of study abroad program choices as well as incredible access to the nation’s history. Yet Xi’an, as one of the ancient capitals of China and a major stopping point on the Silk Road, provides outstanding opportunities for studying history in China too.
To help understand how rapidly the world has changed over the past three centuries, or delve into the golden age of art, architecture, music, and literature, while having access to some of the world’s finest museums, libraries, and archives, Europe is the place for you to study history abroad. Italy is Europe’s center, when it comes to history. Home to history’s most iconic and most well-preserved ancient landmarks, Italy also hosts a myriad of history study abroad programs to choose from. Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance, the home of the lost city of Pompeii and the Vatican City. Most history study abroad programs in Italy offer the chance for students to travel through Italy to multiple destinations to further expand learning, which is definitely a bonus component to consider.
