See All 2 ProgramsBy choosing to study journalism and broadcasting abroad you will be taking a big step toward a career within the field, as you will be practicing many of the same requirements expected from the profession. You will gain cultural understanding and adaptability to new environments and beliefs which is necessary for quality reporting. Journalists often work in fast (and sometimes dangerous) environments, leaving no time for personal beliefs or judgements to get in the way of completing assignments. By experiencing new places and cultures, the veil of expectation, assumptions, and false judgements is challenged and your new perspective will be invaluable. Observing events as they unfold with fresh eyes gives journalists immeasurable experience needed when reporting news accurately and with as little bias as possible.
While popular study abroad destinations, such as Western Europe, Thailand, and Australia offer solid journalism study abroad programs, you may receive more hands on experience in destinations that are at the center of current global events. Even if you are not assigned to cover such events, the mere exposure benefits your ability to cover similar events in the future. Also, with watchdog journalism on the rise, you never know when you could catch the next top news story on your cell phone’s camera.
Israel. A country that is frequently experiencing conflict, Israel continues to get coverage on news networks all over the world. By studying journalism and broadcasting in Israel you will have direct access to one of the world’s most covered news stories. While tourists are highly advised to stay clear of certain areas, the country is relatively secure for tourists. Students who study abroad in Israel will have the chance to visit politically relevant sites that will give you better insight into current events.
Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a thriving city that is home to many news bureaus. Study abroad program in journalism and broadcasting located in Hong Kong will place you in a major global city which is greatly beneficial for anyone looking to get into international journalism. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China that operates based on a capitalist economy and political system. In contrast, mainland China operates on a socialist system carried out by the rest of the country. While studying in Hong Kong, you will gain a broader perspective of news coverage as you learn journalism tactics that may differ from those of your own culture.
South Africa is a diverse nation with many ethnicities and nationalities present due to the apartheid and colonization that continually impacts society. There is never any shortage of activity going on in South Africa, allowing for strong and active journalism study abroad programs. Journalism programs in South Africa cover all aspects of news from print, to radio, and television. Students who study in South Africa will gain a unique educational experience while living and documenting one of the many African lifestyles.
Journalism study abroad programs can consist of a wide variety of topics spanning reporting, photography, and videography, as well as a wide variety of multimedia analyses classes. The world of journalism is slowly transforming into a multilayered platform, so a well-rounded education in the field is vital to understanding its many facets and intricacies. Print newspapers are slowly phasing out, and phasing in are social media, newspaper web versions, and more video coverage.
Even though the majority of journalism programs are shifting the attention to online models of reporting news, most classes will still cover the basics of print journalism. Journalism and broadcasting courses abroad will cover both the theoretical aspects of journalism as well as the essential practices. In addition to lectures, courses will most likely also consist of intensive class discussions, practical exercises and brainstorming, and visits from professionals in the industry.
Studying journalism abroad and interacting with professional journalists will provide students with insight into the various jobs available in the field, such as working for private agencies, major corporations, production companies, and as a freelance journalist or foreign correspondent. All students are eligible to take journalism classes abroad, although some of the more intensive, upper-division courses recommend that you are a journalism major.
Gain Real World Experience as You Study Abroad. By taking what you learn in the classroom into the streets, you will have the chance to apply what you have learned to real events. You will have the opportunity to document your trip every step of the way, allowing yourself to be ready to cover whatever comes your way. This is great practice for a career in journalism, and allows you to build your portfolio for not only friends and family, but also potential employers.
Explore Various Means of Reporting News. As the field of journalism is in a state of transition, you can take this developmental phase as an opportunity to explore and innovate ways of reporting the news. By learning about how other countries are accommodating the transition to online journalism, you can borrow various cultural practices to create your own form of this evolving medium. This is your chance to be a game changer, and travel is the first step to acquiring the ideas needed to do so.
Hear what past participants have to say about their experiences
Program: Odyssey in Athens Study Abroad Program, Webster Athens
I had such an amazing experience with my study abroad program in Athens Greece! Our apartment was in the heart of Athens that allowed me and my roommates to explore as much as we wanted when we were not in class. The professors for classes were incredibly kind and helpful. I went over seas alone not knowing anyone and came back with friends that I still meet up with 3 years later. I would not be the person I am today without this experience due to the independence, the learning, the culture and the people. This program provided so many opportunities to explore and learn about Greek culture and history. I strongly encourage students study aboard and this program is a fantastic way to do it!
This London Study Abroad Program was everything I hoped it to be. I enjoyed the classes and the assignments. The instructors were knowledgeable, approachable and open to suggestions. There was just enough free time that I was able to visit surrounding areas and exhibits that were not included in the trip. One of these was the M.C. Escher exhibit at the Somerset House. Another activity was a visit to the Canal Museum that included a trip on a canal barge. Afterward I walked along the towpath and saw art for sale on boats moored there, talked with locals and took photos. We saw a David Hockney exhibit and a Christo exhibit. I was also able to take a Chunnel trip to Paris where I made a side trip to visit Monet's Garden in Giverney to see the water lilies in bloom. We visited the Tower of London, and Kew Gardens that also featured Henry Moore sculptures. Food was very good. Since we could shop in local grocery stores and prepare meals at the dorm, out of pocket expenses were not much more than at home. My fellow students were friendly, interesting and open to new experiences! Many watched FIFA matches at local pubs.



I really loved studying abroad in London. I was able to be the student blogger so I had lots of time to reflect on my trip and I fell in love with London everyday. The housing was good and so was the location. The activities were all very enriching but the classes could use a little more structure. I would totally recommend this program to every student.

I had a very enjoyable semester, the administration worked hard to make different events and excursions for the students to go on. I felt the classes were participation based and student centered rather than just reading notes out loud which was quite enjoyable

I can't recommend this program enough if you have the opportunity to apply for it. It has undoubtably changed my life. As an artist, it was incredible to be immersed in such a vibrant city with such beautiful grafitti/ street art as well as the ancient ruins all around you. To be able to study in the birthplace of knowledge, it makes you feel like you are contributing to something bigger than yourself. The program itself was also really amazing because it gave us the opportunity to connect with a group of people we could rely on when traveling together. It was also nice to have a schedule and trips planned out for you. It's an incredible opportunity to enhance your global outreach and gain new perspective. I miss it everyday!
Program: Documentary Outreach - Service Learning for Storytellers

So is showbiz. I feel that I have made good friends that I want to work with in the future. Thank you Actuality Abroad for providing all of us this opportunity.

Studying abroad in London was the best experience of my undergraduate education so far. Studying abroad was something that I never expected and it felt like fate when I found out that my major (Criminal Justice) was hosting a program in London with CEA Capa. Throughout my time in London, CEA Capa made the experiece extremely rewarding and memorable. From the excursions, shows, education, and travel advice, CEA Capa supported the entire program and did so extremely effortlessly. Being in London was my first time out of the country and I was so confident that I would be safe, know where to go, and what to do if something went wrong because the team was so helpful. CEA Capa has my highest recommendation and I wish everyday that I could go back to being abroad in London.



I chose AIFS Abroad because I wanted to step outside my comfort zone and experience a new culture through a program that offered support before, during, and after going abroad. I participated in the Barcelona Maymester program in summer 2026, and it was an experience I will always be grateful for. The pre-departure process was stress-free, which made preparing to study abroad feel much less overwhelming. Once in Barcelona, I loved exploring the city, trying new foods, going on excursions, and experiencing everyday life in a new culture. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience was learning to navigate a new city independently, as well as making lasting friendships with the people around me. I got to live in an apartment in the coolest part of the city all while living with my best friends. I was so grateful to be able to go to classes and become so independent in an unfamiliar city. I would recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone looking to experience a new culture, make lasting memories, meet new people, and grow both personally and professionally.
Studying abroad in Zagreb, Croatia, was one of the most transformative experiences of my undergraduate journey. As a Biology major on the pre-medical track at Spelman College, I wanted an experience that would challenge me academically, immerse me in a different culture, and allow me to explore medicine beyond the traditional classroom setting. Zagreb gave me all of that and so much more. During my time abroad, I had the opportunity to participate in clinical shadowing at KBC Sestre Milosrdnice, where I spent much of my time observing cardiology and cardiovascular procedures, learning about patient care, and understanding how healthcare professionals collaborate in a hospital setting. One of my most memorable experiences was observing the medical team's response to a complication during a cardiac stent procedure. Witnessing the level of precision, communication, and critical thinking required in that moment strengthened my interest in cardiovascular medicine and helped solidify my aspiration to become a cardiothoracic surgeon. However, my experience was about much more than medicine. Choosing Zagreb was intentional. I wanted to travel somewhere unfamiliar, where I would have to step outside my comfort zone, navigate cultural differences, and become more independent. From learning basic Croatian phrases to exploring the city, connecting with my roommates, and experiencing everyday life in a new country, each day taught me something valuable about adaptability and confidence. As a first-generation college student and a Black woman pursuing a career in medicine, this opportunity also reminded me of the importance of representation and making international experiences accessible to students from all backgrounds. Studying abroad is not limited to students majoring in international studies or foreign languages. STEM students can also find programs that complement their academic interests and professional goals. My advice to anyone considering studying abroad is to research your options, ask questions, and remain open to destinations you may not have initially considered. Some of the most meaningful opportunities come from choosing experiences that challenge your expectations. I returned from Zagreb with more than memories and photographs. I returned with a clearer understanding of the physician I hope to become, greater confidence in my ability to navigate unfamiliar environments, and a deeper appreciation for the global nature of healthcare. If I had the opportunity to choose again, I would choose Zagreb every single time. This experience did not simply allow me to explore another country; it helped me discover a new direction for my future.
Program: Study Abroad in Gold Coast, Australia with WorldStrides
Studying abroad in general is life changing but studying in the Gold Coast was above that! It was an amazing experience that taught me so much about myself and the world. There is so much to do around the Gold Coast a sememster wasn’t enough!
My semester abroad in Madrid with AIFS was genuinely one of the most memorable experiences of my life, and I would recommend the program to anyone considering studying abroad! From the beginning, the experience was well organized, and I felt supported throughout my time in Spain. Looking back, I am so grateful I chose AIFS because my semester became so much more than just an opportunity to study in another country. AIFS also offered a great variety of activities that allowed us to experience Spanish culture firsthand. These included tapas dinners, cooking sessions, and trips to beautiful cities like Granada, Toledo, and Segovia. These experiences gave us the opportunity to explore beyond Madrid while creating lasting memories with other students. I would recommend AIFS in a heartbeat! If you are nervous about taking the leap, I encourage you to go for it. My semester in Madrid gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, and personal growth that I will carry with me long after returning home. I would do it all over again without hesitation!


I chose AIFS Abroad for my semester in London because I wanted to experience living in a new country while continuing my education, and I’m so glad I did. The staff were incredibly helpful and supportive, which made adjusting to life in a new city much easier. The housing accommodations were also a great part of the experience and gave me a place to feel comfortable while living abroad. Having an Oyster card to use on the Tube made it so easy to get around London and explore different neighborhoods, landmarks, and attractions. The Eurail pass was another great benefit because it gave me the opportunity to travel and experience even more while studying abroad. One of my favorite parts of the program was getting to explore London, visit museums and landmarks, and experience everyday life in a different country. I also made amazing friendships and became more independent and confident navigating new places. As a marketing and management student, studying abroad gave me a new perspective on different cultures and helped me grow both personally and professionally. Between the supportive staff, housing, transportation benefits, and opportunities to explore, AIFS made my experience really memorable. I would definitely recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone looking to study abroad, make new friends, and get the most out of their time in another country!
Forum-Nexus was incredibly well organized from start to finish. Travel between cities was efficient, and I still had the freedom to explore on my own. The Independent Cultural Visits pushed me to get out and discover each place. Laura did a great job in International Business, and I learned a lot. The teachers and staff were nice and caring, and Adam was the best! It was the adventure of a lifetime, and it showed me I can do new and scary things. I’d recommend it 100%. You won’t experience anything like it.
Program: Study Abroad in Bangkok, Thailand with WorldStrides
My study abroad experience in Seville, Spain was truly unforgettable. I had the opportunity to explore a new culture, meet people from different backgrounds, and experience everyday life in another country. I loved being able to travel around Spain and visit places like Barcelona and Madrid, while also making memories in Seville. Studying abroad helped me become more independent, confident, and open to trying new things. I would definitely recommend studying abroad to other students because it is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life!

Studying abroad in Rome, Italy for a semester through WorldStrides was an unforgettable experience. I loved being able to take business courses while also getting to experience Italian culture, travel, and everyday life in a new country. Living in Rome pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me grow more independent while making memories and friendships that I’ll always cherish. I would absolutely recommend WorldStrides to anyone considering studying abroad!
If you get the chance to study abroad with CEA Capa, you should. Participating in Cal Poly's First Year GO Program, and venturing on my own to Sevilla, Spain, was the best choice I could've made. Before I left, I was nervous, unsure, and had never before left the country on my own. With CEA Capa, everything felt do-able. We were welcomed into the city, housed at a very pleasant residence hall, and got to take classes in a beautiful historic building in the city-center. Studying abroad with CEA Capa gave me the opportunity to see the world, immerse myself in Spanish culture, and build a variety of skills that I will carry with me throughout my life.
