Study Abroad

A Global Approach to Legal Education

Through programs offered on campus and abroad, Florida law students gain international experience and exposure and a distinguishing edge in today’s competitive job market. Students benefit from decades of international experience and involvement by faculty.

In addition, each year Foreign Enrichment Courses bring to campus leading professors, judges, attorneys and government officials from around the world to teach courses dealing with timely international and comparative law issues.

Students and faculty also benefit from exchange programs with renowned international institutions of law and from an innovative Summer Abroad Program.

Exchange Programs

The University of Florida Levin College of Law is a pioneer in the creation of formal student exchange programs, modeled on the success of its faculty exchanges. The college has ABA-approved student exchanges in fall, spring and summer sessions. These give UF students the opportunity to study law abroad, and enrich the academic atmosphere of the College of Law by bringing international students to campus.
