Emory University's semester abroad exchange programs in Amsterdam offer students the opportunity to take a range of courses taught in English while exploring Dutch culture and one of the world's great multicultural and multilingual cities.
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) is a private Dutch university with more than 17,000 students and 2,000 academic staff from the Netherlands and other countries. At the heart of the city's new international business district, the Zuidas, the campus stands as a center of excellence in scholarly research and education.

If interested in developing your proficiency in the Spanish language and knowledge of Hispanic culture, then the Emory Iberian Studies summer abroad program, hosted by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, is for you. You will experience immersion in the Spanish language and culture in two of the most vibrant cities of Spain: Seville (2 weeks) and Salamanca (4 weeks).
Seville was once the largest city in Spain, a key city of Islamic Al-Andalus and medieval Castile, and later the primary port connecting Spain with its American colonies. Even today the culture and the language spoken in the city recall those connections. Many aspects of the culture of Seville are among the most celebrated in Spain, such as Flamenco dance/music, bullfighting, and "tapas".
In contrast, Salamanca is the "Oxford" or "Cambridge" of the Hispanic world. The Universidad de Salamanca was founded in 1218 and retains a worldwide reputation in Spanish language teaching and Hispanic studies. Its 40,000 Spanish, European, and Latin American students make Salamanca a very young city with a wide offering of cultural activities (theater, concerts, art exhibitions, local festivals) and an active social life for students and non-students alike.
