Questions & answers
What's the difference between faculty-led programmes and traditional study abroad?
“Traditional study abroad sends individual students to a foreign institution for a semester or year, usually independent of their home faculty. Faculty-led programmes are shorter (1–4 weeks), keep the home instructor present throughout, are tightly aligned to a specific course, and typically cost 50–70% less per student.”
What's the minimum and maximum group size for a faculty-led trip?
“We run faculty-led groups from 8 students up to 40+. Below 8, we recommend students join one of our open-enrolment volunteer or medical internship programmes instead. Above 40, we split the cohort across parallel programmes with shared briefings and excursions. Most successful faculty-led groups land at 12–20 students — large enough for cost efficiency, small enough to deliver real depth.”
