 American Institute for Foreign Study | University of Salzburg (Salzburg, Austria)
Program Basics
St. Norbert College partners with the American Institute for Foreign Studies (AIFS) to offer students an opportunity to study in the heart of Europe. The University of Salzburg, founded in 1622, welcomes students from around the world. While previous German language study is not required, students must take a mandatory two-week intensive language preparation course during orientation.
Salzburg is one of the most elegant and interesting cities in Europe. Renowned throughout Europe for its international arts and performance festivals, Salzburg is a celebration of music (and the birthplace of Mozart). Both compact and accessible, the city also offers beer gardens, cafes, lakes, mountains, and fresh air. Additionally, since Salzburg is located in the heart of Europe, travel is both easy and efficient.
Academics
There are three major aspects to the academic program:
- Orientation: Students are required to take a two-week intensive language preparation course during orientation. Though not required, students are encouraged to continue the study of German while in Salzburg.
- AIFS Courses: Different courses taught in English and German are offered by the University of Salzburg especially for AIFS students.
- University of Salzburg Courses: Qualified AIFS students can enroll in any course offered by the University of Salzburg where enrollment is not limited. Students must have at least two years of college-level German to take regular university courses. Please note that this requires an additional month in Salzburg and a $900 fee.
- Languages: English & German
Accommodations
Students select one of two options for housing before leaving the United States:
- Residence Hall: Students stay in double rooms with a private bathroom in one of several residences located throughout the city. Requests for Austrian or international roommates are subject to availability.
- Austrian Homestay: The homestay experience provides the best opportunity for students to learn German and to immerse themselves in the culture. Students usually have a double room, shared with another AIFS student, in an apartment or house located outside of the city center.
Additionally, for students' convenience, AIFS can arrange round-trip airfare (including all fuel surcharges, taxes, and fees), meet students at the arrival airport(s), and provide transportation to/from the program site. As with all SNC Study Abroad programs, students are responsible for transportation costs. The group flight fee for the University of Salzburg program is $960 (subject to change).
