The Department of French and Italian offers several student exchange and study abroad opportunities for our students. These programs offer opportunities for students to live, teach and research in French-speaking cities and higher learning institutions.
The Aix-Marseille exchange program is a year-long exchange program, offered yearly, that provides an opportunity for students to research and teach for a year at Aix-Marseille University.
The Geneva exchange is a semester or year-long exchange program, offered yearly, that provides an opportunity for students who have achieved dissertator status to research their topic while living and studying in Geneva, Switzerland at the University of Geneva. Take a listen to two UW-Madison PhD students, Kimmy Rooney and Alex Taylor, who recently participated in the program talk about their experience.
The Bryn Mawr Summer Study program, also known as the Institut d’Avignon, offered yearly as funding allows, is a six-week intensive program in French Literature, History, and Theater studies, founded in 1962 by Michel Guggenheim and René Girard under the auspices of Bryn Mawr College in Avignon.
