We are best known for our thematic regional and global study programs and have the ability to operate sophisticated co-curricular itineraries. In 2010 our students will cumulatively visit over 70 cities in over 20 countries, from Guadalajara to Beijing.
Our background is in academia. Global Learning Semesters was spun out of the University of Nicosia (formerly Intercollege), the leading university in Cyprus, to focus exclusively on designing study abroad programs. Our senior management team has over 100 years of cumulative experience in higher education, study abroad, risk management and international business.
We have served on the standard setting bodies in study abroad, helping design the principles of best practices that will guide the leading study abroad firms over the next decade.
We care about increased access to and diversity in study abroad and work closely with our affiliates and partners in the study abroad offices of home universities in the United States to support these objectives.

The company seeks to activate and embody imagination in relation to text, increase performer sensitivity and engage with improvised storytelling.
The residency will culminate with another session with the OBRA company, drawing together the material from the preceding weeks work, and re-exploring the work in relation to the ensemble.
The residency is limited to 15 participants, all of whom will live and work on-site at Au Brana, a formerly ruined farm now transformed into a tranquil and focussed creative environment.
The fee for the workshop is €750.00. Full board accommodation is available at the centre for the entire period for €22 per night. Travel to the centre is not included in the price. Places are limited and a deposit of €200 is required to reserve a place before 1st April.
