Study Abroad
As the practice of law becomes a truly global profession, BU Law has emerged as a national leader in developing semester-abroad programs. We offer one of the widest selections of overseas study opportunities, in which students are fully immersed in their host country’s legal system and culture, living and working with international teachers, scholars and fellow students.
Participating students gain exposure to a range of substantive international and comparative law topics and develop valuable perspective on their own legal educations and the U.S. legal system.
Many make meaningful personal and professional overseas connections and find opportunities to leverage their experiences in their job searches, as proof to employers of their serious commitment to engage in the international practice of law.
These programs are open only to BU Law students who have completed at least one year of full-time study at BU Law. Students from other ABA-approved law schools are not eligible to participate.
