Study Abroad

Expand your horizons with study abroad

Studying abroad doesn’t just enrich your education. It builds global awareness, deepens your understanding of your field, and helps you stand out in the job market.

Luddy Indianapolis offers two immersive programs in Greece and Finland that combine cultural exploration with real-world, tech-focused experience.

Finland

Spring semester
During the spring semester, students from the IUI will be partnered with students from the Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences in Finland and collaborate on tech projects through a global classroom course, Information Structures for the Web. Students who wish to study abroad will also enroll in the course, Global Digital Services, to prepare for the international travel to Finland.

Study abroad
Students will visit Finland for a two-week period (approximately the last two weeks of May) to collaborate with their partners at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences. The students’ activities will be supplemented by field trips and site visits relevant to the class, as well as visits to historic sites, museums, industries, and cultural events.
