UP Salzburg, Austria

Study abroad in Salzburg during the summer!

Explore this enchanting city, with its fortress, cathedrals, and picturesque markets. Learn from Salzburg’s historical streets and events, some dating as far back as the Middle Ages. Visit the home of Mozart, immerse yourself in the food scene, learn from Hohensalzburg Fortress, attend concerts, and walk around the museums. Salzburg is a UNESCO World Heritage city, and considered one of the safest cities in Europe. Austria is centrally located to the rest of Europe, making traveling during breaks easy and a great first step for your international experience. 

Study at the UP Salzburg Center, take two courses from UP faculty in Salzburg, and learn outside of the classroom through excursions/study tours. The courses and excursions change every summer. Past faculty have taught nursing, biology, arts, psychology, theology, among others.  Past excursions included Vienna, Innsbruck, as well as various historical sites and national parks.  

The UP Salzburg Center has shared dorms, an industrial kitchen, and a shared living space to hang out with friends, do homework, or just relax between classes. Just like on campus, there will be dedicated staff there to support you. 

Our office will be with you every step of the way.  While you apply to this program, you will be able to meet with our staff or one of our Student Advisors who have just returned from their own time abroad. We offer guidance and support during the application process, then we will ensure you are prepared for your trip with mandatory predeparture orientations and informational sessions and continue to work with you as you reintegrate into the UP campus life.  

Unfortunately, summer programs do not qualify for institutional aid or existing scholarships. We do have scholarships for you to apply. We also have a UP Study Abroad Scholarship you can apply to!
