Stanford-Vienna Exchange 2025

The Stanford–Vienna Academic Exchange is an Autumn Quarter exchange program between Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy (MIP) and the Vienna School of International Studies (DA). Two second-year students from each institution are selected by application to receive fellowships to spend Autumn Quarter in an academic exchange at the other institution. The DA is a postgraduate professional school dedicated to preparing talented graduates for international careers and positions of leadership in international affairs. Training areas encompass international relations, political science, international and EU law, economics, history and languages.

At the DA, MIP students will work with renowned European scholars and a diverse, vibrant group of students at one of Europe’s most highly regarded international studies institutions.

In particular, MIP students will have the opportunity to:

• Focus on European Union issues and policies
• Enroll in intensive German or French language study
• Take study trips to other regions of Europe, and visit the many international organizations headquartered in Vienna and nearby cities
• Participate in specialized courses and seminars led by prominent scholars with the goal of training students for careers in international organizations, public service, and international business

Students selected for the exchange will enroll full-time at the DA and take a minimum of 15 units/credits. Upon completion of the autumn trimester the students will receive an official transcript from the DA (i.e., the courses will not be listed on the Stanford transcript).
