New Disaster Management and Service Learning Programmes in 2012 - need based scholarships now available.

New Zealand Field, Service, and Research Study Abroad Programmes

Frontiers Abroad is dedicated to providing interdisciplinary science, environmental, and service education in field- based settings in a unique part of the world, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

Our semester programmes are hands-on and truly experiential as students engage closely with the outdoor environment and people based of New Zealand. We are a world leader in undergraduate study abroad education for motivated students that want to make a difference!

If you would like to study abroad for a whole year, you can combine two of our semester programmes for the ultimate New Zealand experience.

Semester programmes are based at the University of Canterbury or the University of Auckland.

Transcripts for all Frontiers Abroad programmes are provided by Lafayette College, our US school of record.

New Programmes in 2012!

With natural beauty, comes hazards! Frontiers Abroad has first-hand experience with hazards as our 2011 students experienced with the Christchurch Earthquake. Frontiers Abroad is dedicating some resources to the recovery and rebuild of Christchurch. To do this, we have developed 2 new programmes at the University of Canterbury: 1) Natural Hazards and Disasters Management, and 2) Service Learning and Leadership. These programmes combine research/internships with dedicated courses in these subjects!
