Bespoke Short-Term Faculty-Led Study Abroad to Europe

You have worked years, maybe even decades, honing your skills, profession and subject to provide the highest levels of academic knowledge to educate each student for the ever changing global marketplace they will enter. Your curriculum and syllabus have been meticulously reviewed to meet the standards of your academic institution.

Your study abroad programs should also seamlessly integrate with your syllabus, to enhance, not detract, from your course goals.

Select Travel Study works directly with faculty, not students, to seamlessly bring your course syllabus to life in Europe. We customize a program, specifically for you, which reflects your academic vision, delivering the learning outcomes you have set for your students.

The faculty guides the entire process, retaining complete control and oversight at all times. You set the academic criteria and establish the learning outcomes for your study trip—curriculum, orientation, credits. Our team works with faculty to decide every aspect of the itinerary—the dates, destinations, site visits, workshops. Then our in-country experts implement all the details of your approved plan.

This means you can focus your resources on teaching and inspiring your students, while also expanding your international experience and professional network.

The whole purpose of your institution, the whole purpose of your course, is to educate and prepare each student so they can create a life of fulfillment to benefit the world around them. That goal is exponentially broadened by experiencing a variety of countries, cultures. people, professionals and perspectives. We imagine that is your goal and our goal is providing a study abroad program, especially one that syncs perfectly with your academic criteria.

Select Travel Study supports the mission of Institutes of Higher Education to educate globally literate students who are ready to enter the competitive workforce. We accomplish this intention by providing resources and support to educators to help expand global learning by facilitating faculty-led curriculum based programs and promoting easier access to study abroad opportunities to a more diverse range of candidates.

This will not be accomplished by trivializing study abroad, but rather by celebrating it and by ensuring academic integrity, the acquisition of intercultural competence and professional skills for the global marketplace, are a key part of the international learning experience.

Giving your students the opportunity to experience an international education creates far-reaching benefits for both personal and career-development. Of the students surveyed, 90% felt that studying abroad helped them develop valuable job skills such as foreign language knowledge, cultural training, tolerance for ambiguity, adaptability, communication, and more.

We are European Specialists. Our sole operational focus is bringing North American faculty-led study groups to Europe, for almost 90 years. That longevity provides stability and depth. We work exclusively with the faculty of Institutes of Higher Education, Universities and Colleges

Because of this singular, laser focus, and our longevity in the travel industry we have the advantage of providing cost savings other competitors can not accomplish. That advantage is achieved by providing all services directly, without the extra cost of middle men.

Select Travel Study staffs offices in Europe and North America. We retain direct control of all ground operations from our British headquarters and European operational field offices. This means there are no third party partners between you and the ground services, so we can not only guarantee cost savings, but also total accountability, operational integrity and uniformity for every program.

No middle man, optimum pricing levels and flawless communication between you and Europe. This allows us to bring our European expertise directly to the North American university community.

In addition, our New Jersey based corporation employs US accounting and legal practices and brings you the security of working with a U.S. based company.

The unexpected can occur—for better or worse. Recent events both natural and man-made have obliged us to initiate contingency plans to both reroute, re-accommodate or repatriate programs.

Our European programs are always fully supported by our local teams on the ground. But now, we are delighted be continuing our multi year partnership with Exlog-Global to bring an additional level of security and reassurance to programs traveling abroad with us. They are a premier emergency management company, with the ability to implement an unrivaled suite of risk management capabilities, along with healthcare solutions.

GroupCare is a our proprietary holistic "soup to nuts" safety and well-being program for guidance and practical assistance on the ground in Europe as well as prior to departing and returning home. This program is designed to work in conjunction with any university's risk management program and is in partnership with Exlog-Global.
