Travel and Study around the World
Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary program that requires a solid foundation in the natural sciences. Studying STEM-related subjects in another country opens the door to exciting new research possibilities and provides a more well-rounded academic experience.

Featured Study Abroad Opportunities in Neuroscience
Art, Mind, Brain: Psychology and Neuroscience in Siena gives students the chance to explore the fascinating connections between psychology, neuroscience, and art, all while living in one of Italy’s most beautiful historic cities. Taught by Ulrich Mayr, Professor and Department Head of Psychology at the University of Oregon, the program combines two courses—Cognitive Neuroscience and Art, Mind, and Brain—that together fulfill upper-division requirements for Psychology and Neuroscience majors. What makes this program especially exciting is the way Siena itself becomes part of the classroom. Instead of just reading about how the brain processes perception, memory, or creativity, you’ll step directly into museums, architectural sites, and historic spaces to see those ideas come to life. The city’s art and architecture provide vivid examples of how artists have tapped into human psychology for centuries to create powerful experiences. Living and studying in Siena not only deepens your academic learning but also immerses you in Italian culture, offering the kind of perspective and inspiration you can’t get from a lecture hall in Eugene.
This program, administered by Global Education Oregon (GEO), offers internship opportunities in a wide variety of industry sectors and locations around the world.
Internship opportunities are highly customizable, and we guarantee placement in your preferred sector and location. Students earn up to eight UO credits as well as life-changing work experience in a different culture.
