Frequently Asked Questions

study abroad

During which year can I study abroad?
Our programs are designed for you to study abroad in your 3L fall semester. Minimum 29 credits. Transfer students are not eligible.

What are the programs I can choose from?
You can choose from four programs...

  • Semester in London Program
    The Semester in London Program is for the fall semester of your third year. We have a detailed handout for this program in the ISP office. The semester is September to December.

  • Exchange
    Exchange programs are direct exchanges with a foreign university. UT hosts exchange students from these universities for a semester or year. UT Austin students who go abroad attend regular university at the host institution. Exchange programs may require a certain level of proficiency in the language of the chosen country. Annually, we can send four students per exchange program.

  • LLM programs
    You can earn your LLM degree in conjunction with your JD. You will earn 28 credit hours AND you must be committed to stay from September to September, the entire academic year.

  • AdHoc Program
    These are student-initiated programs. UT Law students may propose a course of studies to any law school in the world that offers a first degree in law. However, we encourage you to attend the exchange program already established in each country. With a student-initiated program, the student must complete much of the preliminary, required paperwork. The proposed course of studies must meet the ABA criteria for Study Abroad.
