UMSL Education Abroad

‎Belfast was beautiful! Queen's University is an absolute gem, and Maggie Hook had a productive visit exploring the potential for future student exchange.

Our partners at University of Hull welcomed Maggie Hook and planned a full day of activities, meetings, and tours to showcase all that makes Hull a top tier study abroad destination!

‎London calling! Maggie Hook met with the Study Abroad team at Roehampton University, getting an up close tour of campus facilities, support services, and forested grounds. UMSL students can study abroad at Roehampton for a semester or summer session!

Delaney and Claire here from Strasbourg France! Today we are heading to paris so in honor of our time in Strasbourg, we thought we’d share some facts about the city with you all!!

Strasbourg is in the alsace region, an area in northeastern france that has switched between German and French control over the centuries. This makes for a very unique blend of french and german culture in the area, reflected in the architecture, food, and traditions! Strasbourg is home to many lovely rivers as the alsace region borders the Rhin. Strasbourg also holds some important European institutions such as the Council of Europe and the EU Parliament.

In this post you’ll notice many photos of one specific gothic building, that is the Notre Dame in Strasbourg. The beautiful gothic cathedral took over 420 to complete making it the tallest structure constructed in the middle ages. It is a distinctive redish color because of the particular sandstone used in its construction, only making it more of a marvel. You can appreciate the mass and beauty of this cathedral from just about anywhere in Strasbourg, though we agree it is just as beautiful every time you see it!

While much of Europe is sweating through a heatwave, I’m soaking in the fresh mountain air and cool alpine temperatures. 🌿⛰️ There’s something magical about escaping to the Alps—crisp mornings, breathtaking views, and the perfect weather for hiking and relaxing.

If you’re planning to study abroad in Germany, don’t miss the chance to visit Oberstdorf. It’s the perfect getaway to experience the beauty of the Bavarian Alps, recharge, and enjoy nature at its finest.

BUEN CAMINO! We walked a little over 100 km! It rained only on our last day! Great experiences with great people 😊

Scavenger Hunt: Bremen Edition #.
In Germany, the design of doors on historic buildings is rarely random. Different styles, carvings, colors, and materials can reflect the building’s age, purpose, wealth of the owner, religious beliefs, regional traditions, or architectural period.
I’ve started a mission to discover the most beautiful, unusual, and historic doors hidden around Bremen.

Want to join the hunt? 📸
Snap a photo of your favorite door in Bremen, share it, and tag me so we can build a collection of the city’s hidden architectural gems together.

My name is Sarah and I am currently studying abroad in Bremen, Germany. From lecture halls to train platforms 🚆🇩🇪. Studying abroad in Bremen means every weekend is a new adventure waiting at the next stop.

Our Galway successfully completed the first week of their program! They were all smiles and ready to tackle the next three weeks with gusto!

The trip may be ending, but the memories will last forever. Here are some of my favorite digi cam pics from Europe 📸✨
