Study Abroad
The Florida State University College of Social Work, in conjunction with FSU’s International Programs, has conducted many study abroad courses in a wide range of locations.
For the 2026 academic year, we are excited to offer a Summer Study Abroad program in Belfast. On this page, you will find information and instructions on how to apply and program requirements.
Program Details
Formal exchange programs are offered for BSW students interested in spending a semester living in and learning about different cultures. The College of Social Work currently partners with Jönköping University in Jönköping, Sweden.
Courses are taught in English during the fall and spring semesters and coordinate with the host university's academic calendars. FSU students register and receive credit for FSU courses matched in content to host institution offerings.
Students take a full-time course load and pay FSU tuition and fees (Bright Futures can be used) and receive credit for required or elective classes. Contact your academic advisor as soon as possible to begin the academic planning process, and contact BSW Program Director, Carol Edwards (carol.edwards@fsu.edu) for program details.
