Zagreb School of Economics and Management - Study in Croatia Semester in Europe

During this study abroad program, students will not only experience quality learning in an international setting, but they will also have the opportunity to immerse themselves into the Croatian culture and explore Croatia’s history and stunning landscape. Sightseeing tours and trips will also be organized in Zagreb (Croatia’s capital and the location of ZSEM) and also to smaller cities and towns surrounding Zagreb. Students will have the opportunity to visit old castles near Zagreb, various museums, the medievel Upper Town, the Zagreb Cathedral and other localities. Because of Zagreb’s prime location in the heart of Croatia, students will be able to take various organized or independent weekend excursions or day trips to:

• the Adriatic Sea, which stretches across more than 3,500 miles of the country’s coastline, for some beach time
• the Dinaric Alps for some skiing, snowboarding or hiking
• the Plitvice Lakes National Park (the oldest national park in Southeast Europe) for an easy stroll amidst cascading waterfalls
• the Croatian cities of Zadar, Dubrovnik, Split and Pula
• the popular European cities of Prague, Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Venice (by car or plane)

Students who prefer to spend more time in Zagreb can escape to the capital city’s many parks or take a hike up the Medvednica mountain whose trails can be quickly and easily reached by public transport from the city. ZSEM’s study abroad coordinators will be sure to inform students of the multitude of options for participation in recreational activities, including sports activities, clubs and, of course, shopping and nightlife in Zagreb.

The Study in Croatia, Semester in Europe study abroad program of the Zagreb School of Economics and Management (ZSEM) provides a quality learning experience inside and outside of the classroom for students, while allowing them to earn college academic credit from an AACSB-accredited institution. Regardless of student’s academic discipline, they will benefit from this experience by learning about globalization and intercultural perspectives, which is needed for long-term success in today’s constantly changing business world.

Since ZSEM has over 100 partner institutions and universities around the world, students will have a truly diverse experience as their classmates and travel mates will be international exchange students from over 40 countries.
