Department of Chemistry
The School of Arts and Sciences offers month long study abroad courses called "Exploration Seminars". These seminars are designed as 5-credit courses ocurring late August through mid-September. Seminar descriptions as well as online applications are available at the Exloration Seminar website.
The UW Department OF Chemistry is a member of the TransAtlantic Science Student Exchange Program (TASSEP), a program for one-for-one exchange of undergraduate chemistry or biochemistry majors between U.S. and European universities. Through TASSEP students may take courses satisfying UW requirements during a quarter or longer in residence at a European university that participates in TASSEP (typically students are gone for the academic year). Students should at least be finished with general and organic chemistry, calculus, and physics by the time of departure for study abroad. Note that the non-English countries require a level of fluency through the second year of a foreign language since the courses are taught in the native language.UW students will continue to pay only normal UW tuition as part of the exchange program.
Please consult with the chemistry/biochemistry advisers for more details regarding TASSEP.*
There are also a host of other opportunities through the International Programs and Exchanges office in 516 Schmitz Hall at the UW. Hundreds of students go abroad
through this program every year.
The UW has its own campus in Rome,
making Italy the most visited country. You can pick up foreign
language credits and many electives this way. Study abroad can prove
to be an invaluable learning and life-changing experience.

Some of the European universities involved in TASSEP are University of Strathcylde (Scotland); Aarhus University (Denmark); University of Amsterdam (Holland); Universite Joseph Fourier (France); Lund University (Sweden); the Technical University of Berlin; ETH (Zurich); University of Bologna (Italy); University of Ioannina (Greece); and Universidad Complutense (Spain) (pictured above).
