Miami Law Students: What to Keep in Mind When Considering Study Abroad
Plan Early
Students with an interest in studying at a foreign law school need to begin planning for their semester away as soon as possible, namely, during their first year of the J.D. program. Students must complete three semesters of the J.D. program before they are allowed to spend a semester at one of our partner schools.
Find Out about Second Language
Some schools only teach in the language of the country. For these programs a B2 level of language proficiency or equivalent is required.
Understand the Requirements & Tuition
Students applying to study at a partner schools should have a 3.0 GPA in Law School, and a specific interest/reason for wanting to study in a particular institution/country. Students who participate are ambassadors for the University of Miami School of Law, and are required to provide a report of their experience at the end of the semester. Tuition is paid to UM Law for the semester away, and loans are handled as though the student were studying at UM Law.
Apply for a nomination
Students who want to study abroad must apply for a nomination to the school they wish to attend. To apply for a nomination, complete the Nomination Form and attach your resume and letter of intent.
