“I’m immensely happy that I made the decision to study abroad at University College Dublin during the spring 2019 semester. I had the opportunity to experience a whole new educational system and national culture, make a new set of friends, and see parts of the world and hear viewpoints that I never would’ve gotten the chance to otherwise.”  – Caroline Tien '20

Each year more than 130 Haverford students take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.

The 2019 Study Abroad Photo Contest second-place winner in the Cultural Encounters category: Sophia Nelson '20, "Face Off," taken in Tromsø, Norway.

What They Learned: Emma Bullock '19

For chemistry major and German minor Emma Bullock '19, the thesis process was all about improvisation and re-evaluation. Bullock's thesis began as an attempt to apply the techniques that her advisor uses to study oil to honeybee health, but it quickly became a lesson on flexibility in the lab.

This upcoming year Bullock will be working at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany. "What They Learned" is a blog series exploring the thesis work of recent graduates.
