Studying abroad is highly recommended for anyone in the process of earning a degree in social science. Whether you are specializing in anthropology, business, finance, or international relations, studying social science abroad will not only give you a more intensive theoretical background in the field, it will also give you a fresh perspective on human conditions and society in general. While studying abroad, you will be learning about social science just by going for a walk or trying a local cuisine!

CYA was a chance to explore academic fields of my interests as well as a chance to discover more about myself. CYA blends academics and cultural immersion so well together that sometimes it was hard to remember which aspect I was directly interacting with.

Locations

The best thing about studying social science abroad is the fact that you can study it anywhere! This big umbrella field covers a range of different subjects that are all quite popular in nearly every country across the world as well as in the majority of academic institutions.

In Western Europe, the most popular destinations to study social science are Italy, England, or Spain. Each country and academic institution will likely offer a distinct approach to the field of social science, so be sure your interests or theoretical orientation aligns with your school of choice. Without a doubt, social science courses in Europe will give students the chance to delve deeper into the complexities of human relations, both in theory and in real life situations.

Most importantly, most European countries are home to diverse groups of people with different cultural backgrounds and beliefs, which will broaden your perspective of social relations and give you first hand experience interacting with people from different cultures. An added benefit: Europe is home to many international institutions, like the United Nations, which can serve as great places to land a job in the future!

Asia is also home to a handful of popular places to study social science abroad, such as China and South Korea. China is an emerging market, which makes it an important destination for those specializing in the business or finance side of social science. The recent developments in the Chinese market have captured the attention of scholars and social science analysts around the world. Spending a semester studying social science in China will give you an incredible opportunity to increase your understanding of China’s market flow and societal structure.
