Our global partnerships support and expand UAB’s internationalization goals by providing students with opportunities to understand the world and make it better.

These partnerships offer a mutually-beneficial two-way collaboration that connects our students and staff with ideas and communities around the world, strengthen the impact of our research, and integrate new perspectives into our teaching. Together, we change the world.

Exchange Agreements

UAB has reciprocal exchange agreements with multiple universities across three continents. This two-way student exchange agreement allows for students to take classes for credit for one semester or more. Students pay tuition and fees to their home institution.

Affiliate Agreements

Education Abroad at UAB works with valued affiliate partners to provide enriching study abroad experiences for our students. Each affiliate is carefully reviewed for health & safety, academic rigor, cultural immersion, and on-site support.

Customized Study Abroad

UAB Education Abroad coordinates and administers multiple customized programs each year. Agreements for customized abroad programs vary greatly and Education Abroad will coordinate with UAB Contracts to complete the contractual process. Please note that the faculty member may need to assist with securing the contract from the provider.
