# Study Abroad ## expand\_more ![bach_alona_1.jpg](/sites/g/files/omnuum9516/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/hos/files/bach_alona_1.jpg?itok=TOWBEyDo) Students may elect to study abroad during their junior year. Most students who choose to study abroad do so for one semester (preferably the spring) or during the summer. History and Science will accept up to two courses for concentration credit from a Harvard University-approved study abroad program. ![reed_vaneshia.png](/sites/g/files/omnuum9516/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/hos/files/reed_vaneshia.png?itok=0YXFNDQL) Classes taken for History and Science credit must be approved by the DUS or the Manager of Student Programs in advance of the study abroad program. Please note that the two courses of study abroad credit will count as pass/fail courses; the grades do not transfer. Please consult with the [Office of International Education](http://oie.fas.harvard.edu/home) for details about applying for credit for your study abroad experience. The [Harvard Summer School Study Abroad](https://summer.harvard.edu/study-abroad-programs/) program also offers courses in the history of science in Europe and elsewhere that students may take for concentration credit during the summer, while spending an extended time abroad. In addition, there are many, rich, and varied opportunities for students to receive credit for study abroad work at other institutions in either science, or the history of science and related areas (Science and Technology Studies, the history of medicine, the history of technology, philosophy and sociology of science, science and health policy). A few of the more well-known foreign programs in these fields are listed below. The asterisks indicate where our concentrators have earned concentration credit in the past. The list is not exhaustive, and concentrators are welcome to make suggestions of their own. A reminder that any classes taken for History and Science credit must be approved by the DUS or the Manager of Student Programs in advance of the study abroad program. ### Great Britain expand\_more - [University College, London: Department of Science and Technology Studies](http://www.ucl.ac.uk/sts/) - [Cambridge University: Department of History and Philosophy of Science](http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/) - [The University of Edinburgh](http://www.ed.ac.uk/home)\* - [London School of Economics: Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method](https://www.lse.ac.uk/philosophy/) - [London School of Economics: Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science](https://www.lse.ac.uk/cpnss) - [University of Manchester: Centre for the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine](http://www.chstm.manchester.ac.uk/) - [University of Kent: Centre for the History of the Sciences](http://www.kent.ac.uk/history/centres/sciences/index.html) - [University of Leeds: Center for the History and Philosophy of Science](https://ahc.leeds.ac.uk/centre-history-philosophy-science) - [University of Warwick: Centre for the History of Medicine](http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/history/chm/) - [University of Lancaster: Centre for Science Studies](http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/centres/css/) - [University of Bath](http://www.bath.ac.uk/) ### Australia expand\_more - [University of New South Wales](http://www.unsw.edu.au/) - [University of Wollongong](http://www.uow.edu.au/index.html) - [University of Sydney: History and Philosophy of Science](http://sydney.edu.au/science/hps/)\* ### Continental expand\_more - [University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands)](http://www.uva.nl/en/home)\* - [University of Twente (The Netherlands)](http://www.utwente.nl/en/) - [University of Maastricht (The Netherlands)](http://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/) - [University of Gothenborg (Sweden)](http://www.gu.se/english) - [Uppsala University (Sweden)](http://www.uu.se/en) - [Norwegian University of Science and Technology; NTNU - Trondheim](http://www.ntnu.edu/) - [ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich)](https://www.ethz.ch/en.html) - [University of Frankfurt-am-Main: Arbeitsgruppe Wissenschaftsgeschichte](http://web.uni-frankfurt.de/fb08/HS/wg/index.html) - [University of Regensburg: Lehrstuhl für Wissenschaftgeschichte](https://www.uni-regensburg.de/philosophie-kunst-geschichte-gesellschaft/wissenschaftsgeschichte/homepage/) - [Technical University, Darmstadt: Institut für Technikgeschichte](https://www.geschichte.tu-darmstadt.de/institut_fuer_geschichte_1/index.en.jsp) - [Syracuse University, Florence (Italy)](https://suabroad.syr.edu/destinations/florence-italy)\* - [DIS Copenhagen (Denmark)](https://disabroad.org/copenhagen/)\* - [Brown in Bologna (Italy)](https://studyabroad.brown.edu/explore/types-programs/brown-italy)\* - [CIEE Prague (Czech Republic)](https://www.ciee.org/go-abroad/college-study-abroad/locations/czech-republic/prague)\* - [Freie University, Berlin (Germany)](https://www.fu-berlin.de/)\* ### Middle East expand\_more - [Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey](https://www.boun.edu.tr/en-US/Index)\* - [The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel](https://en.huji.ac.il/)\* - [Tel Aviv University, Israel](https://go.tau.org.il/campaigns/2025/03/openday/?utm_source=zarkor&utm_medium=zarkor&utm_id=opendaymay)\* - [Various universities in the Middle East, offered by SIT](https://studyabroad.sit.edu/programs/?region=North%20Africa%20and%20the%20Middle%20East) [Study Abroad Courses Granted Concentration Credit 2019 - 2023](/file_url/2129) Where History and Society Concentrators Have Earned Concentration Credit, 2019 - 2023
