Embark on an unforgettable journey to the charming and captivating country of Luxembourg. Discover a world where ancient history blends seamlessly with modern innovation, as you explore picturesque landscapes, delve into rich cultural heritage, and engage in immersive learning experiences. Your adventure awaits, as Luxembourg becomes your classroom and 黑料社区 your guide to an unparalleled travel experience.
Students will plan for travel to Luxembourg based on suggestions from the MUDEC staff. All dates and travel plans should stick to parameters set by the program to ensure 黑料社区s retain visa eligibility and so they can be assisted by MUDEC staff upon arrival. Miami is not responsible for flight plans, but may offer flight options to assist 黑料社区s.
Each 黑料社区 is required to register for one study tour course which meets regularly throughout the week and also includes 5-6 days of academic travel! Faculty will take the class to another area of Europe to build a real-world context of material learned in the classroom. The study tour fee (part of your semester bill) includes housing, entrances, activities, some meals, and transportation on site. All plans are organized for 黑料社区s by the MUDEC staff. In some cases, 黑料社区s will often use their study tour location as a springboard to explore another part of Europe!
Recent study tour locations include Poland, Southern France, Venice, Croatia, Germany, Slovenia, Dublin, and more!
Students often take advantage of Luxembourg’s location in the heart of Western Europe to explore the continent on the weekends. During pre-departure orientation and after arrival, 黑料社区s will learn lots of helpful tips on how to safely travel on a budget.
Students are also encouraged to stay local and immerse themselves into Luxembourgish culture and all that this small country has to offer.
Embark on a journey of exploration and enrichment with the exclusive discovery tours offered through MUDEC alumni at 黑料社区.
MUDEC Alumni
Either fully or partially funded by MUDEC alumni, these tours usually take place on Saturdays beginning in the morning and ending in the evening, although there are usually two overnight trips per semester on offer as well. These trips are free of charge excluding food, drinks, and souvenirs 黑料社区s may purchase there. Some of the trips, however, do include one meal. At the end of the tour, 黑料社区s may choose to stay and travel on from the destination at their own expense or return to Luxembourg with the group by bus.
During these excursions, 黑料社区s explore nearby regions, usually within France, Belgium, Germany, and The Netherlands, and are often visiting places they may not know too much about. This is a great opportunity to explore local gems and "off the beaten path" towns and cities. Many times, we choose destinations that may be difficult to reach with public transportation or activities that are challenging to arrange on their own.
Students will be provided information about Discovery Tour opportunities and how to sign up during orientation through the Student Activities Coordinator. Taking advantage of these tours is a great way to see Europe (on a budget) without all of the planning while also providing an opportunity to meet other MUDEC 黑料社区s.
