AIFS Study Abroad

AIFS is recognized as a leading provider of study abroad programs. Since 1964 over 1.5 million students have travelled abroad with AIFS. With over 50 years of experience, we have the resources to provide what our students want and need in a study abroad program, and to safeguard their welfare around the globe. AIFS offers a wide range of unique opportunities in Europe, Australia, Asia, South Africa, and the Americas. Most AIFS campuses offer coursework in English or in the local language (from beginner to advanced), so previous language learning is not required for study abroad.

AIFS now offers Online Programs, allowing students to choose courses from all of our online programs, offered by our global network of universities in over 15 countries, or to participate in Global Online Courses plus a virtual internship through the Virtuoso Institute (powered by AIFS and Global Experiences).
