In addition to the traditional full-year and semester-long programs, Tufts offers opportunities for students to study abroad either for the summer in Talloires, France, through the European Center (which can be done at any point during their undergraduate career), or for a full-year/an academic semester (generally during junior year) through one of ten Tufts Programs Abroad , located in Santiago, Chile; Hangzhou, China; Accra, Ghana; Hong Kong; Kanazawa, Japan; London; Madrid; Oxford; Paris; and Tubingen, Germany. Additionally, the School of Engineering has exchange programs with INSA de Lyon in France and with the University of Sussex in England.
