Study Abroad

Study abroad can be an integral part of a College of Law student’s academic experience. It can provide necessary training to develop global competencies. Overseas studies can deepen a student’s expertise in a specific area of international law or in comparative law studies, helping the student to develop competitive proficiencies in a global job market. It can render a student more culturally aware and expand a student’s professional horizons with exposure to international perspectives. It can also provide an unforgettable learning experience during which students can forge long-lasting professional relationships with international faculty and with other law students from all over the world. Aarhus is one of Europe’s leading universities and hosts more than 1000 study-abroad students each year.

Recognizing that our graduates increasingly encounter international legal issues in their practice of law, even in domestic practice, the College of Law seeks to provide students with opportunities to gain experience in intercultural legal training.

Specific educational objectives of our study-abroad partnership with Aarhus University include:

• Students will gain deeper knowledge of other legal systems.
• Students will have the opportunity to interact with law students and faculty from other legal systems and different cultures.
• Students will gain familiarity with foreign legal cultures and will better understand the different operation of laws in other countries.

College of Law students participating in our study-abroad partnership with Aarhus University will earn credit only for courses related to the socio-legal environment of the country in which the foreign institution is located, Denmark, or for courses that have an international or comparative focus.
