WHY COLLABORATE WITH AIFS ABROAD?
World-Class Global Education Centers
Our purpose-built Global Education Centers in London, Rome, and Salzburg provide academic infrastructure, local networks, and cultural immersion while offering a high level of support and integration with your home institution.
Experiential & Transformational Learning
Students engage with local archives, institutions, cultural sites, and community partners, bridging theory and context. These experiences nurture cross-cultural fluency, intellectual curiosity, and global career readiness.
Honors-Focused, Place-Based Curriculum
We combine “Place as Text” methodologies, Honors Inquiry seminars, community engagement, and faculty-led research projects to foster deep learning and student agency.
Create-Your-Own or Tap into Our Existing Program
We can co-create a program from the ground up or adapt one of our existing Honors models (in London, Rome, or Salzburg) to align with your institution’s learning outcomes, credit structure, and faculty goals.
Robust Safety & Security
READY TO BEGIN?
Let’s tailor a global honors program that complements your academic mission and resonates with your faculty and students.
SAMPLE SEMESTER MODEL:
HONORS EXPERIENCE IN LONDON
- "Place as Text" (3 Credits): A foundational, research-driven course that interprets the city itself as source and subject
- Honors Inquiry Seminar (1 credit): An interdisciplinary seminar focused on inquiry, discussion, and project development
- Electives (9-12 credits) drawn from standard curriculum in London
- Community Engagement & Co-curricular Activities: Minimum hours of engagement in local community organizations, cultural institutions, or civic initiatives
- Embedded Career & Global Readiness Modules: Designed to help students reflect on global career paths, networks, and skills
We tailor timing, duration, credit load, and assessment modalities to your institution and faculty.
HOW WE PARTNER WITH YOU
- Initial Consultation & Visioning: We begin by listening: your pedagogical goals, institutional priorities, constraints, and student profiles.
- Program Co-Design: Together we map curriculum, logistics, staffing, assessment, and budget.
- Faculty Support & On-Site Leadership: Our staff provide on-site academic coordination, local partnerships, site visits, and risk management.
- Student Experience & Reflection: We build in reflection, mentorship, and structured activities so students consolidate their learning.
- Evaluation & Iteration: After the first run, we assess outcomes and feedback, then refine for future cohorts.
