Belgium

You can earn a 12-15 credit hours while living and studying in Belgium with FHU. Your semester abroad will be full of exciting opportunities with travel across Europe:

  • Trips to sites and cities in and around Belgium where our campus is located, including the EU Parliament in Brussels and the canals of medieval Bruges.

  • An extended group trip to Paris spent climbing the iconic Eiffel Tower, visiting the gargoyles at the top of Notre-Dame, and discovering the treasures of the Louvre that you have only seen in textbooks.

  • Group travel to Austria and Germany, with visits to the lovely city of Salzburg, the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau, and the beautiful lake Königssee.

  • In the spring, a group trip to Italy spent marveling at the Colosseum and ancient ruins of Rome, visiting the birthplace of the Renaissance in Florence, and wandering along the winding canals of Venice.

  • In the fall, the group travels together to the United Kingdom where they see a play in the Globe Theatre, eat at the Elephant House where J. K. Rowling penned the Harry Potter novels, and visit the ancient ruins at Stonehenge.

  • During three weeks of independent free travel you and a small group of friends plan your own excursions. You might backpack through the majestic Alps, admire the architecture of Gaudi in Barcelona, or follow in the Apostle Paul’s footsteps in Athens.

 

All of this is possible - and more - when you spend a semester studying in Europe with FHU. For more information about the FHU Abroad program in Belgium, visit the FAQs or contact the FHU Abroad Office at fhuabroad@fhu.edu.
