The Office of Education Abroad supports students participating in research activities abroad and will help guide students through the pre-departure process.
Students have several options for securing research opportunities abroad, including:
- an affiliate provider program
- support from a UAB faculty member
- independently arranging a placement for no academic credit
-
Affiliate Provider Program
When you identify a research opportunity with an affiliate provider, please work with our Education Abroad Advisor to complete the required application process. You will also work with the affiliate provider to complete their application process.
-
UAB Faculty Member
As part of a UAB course, you may be required to complete international research or you may be given the opportunity by a UAB faculty member to assist with research. Please contact UAB Education Abroad to initiate your application. We will need to know your faculty member, what credit you will be receiving, and the location and dates of travel. We will help guide you through the Education Abroad process from there.
-
Independently Arranged Research
All UAB-related international travel must be registered with the Office of Education Abroad. Please contact the Education Abroad Associate Director to identify the appropriate steps to register your international research.
