A semester abroad with Insight is straightforward. We host diverse cohorts of students from around the world in our safe and centrally located accommodations while they:
Intern with a locally-led organization four days of the week
Take classes and earn transferable credits one day of the week
Travel and explore the region on weekends and during the week-long break
Insight’s semester abroad programs run for 12 weeks during the winter/spring, summer, and fall semesters. Our programs are open to students of all academic backgrounds.
One of the primary aspects of an Insight semester abroad is the full-time internship. Each student interns individually with one of partner NGOs based on their interests, their academic backgrounds and their skill sets. Students spend four days a week interning, developing in-demand skills while building global networks.

At Insight our priority is to create a unique travel program for students that mitigates risk as much as possible while also providing positive life changing experiences. Although all travel carries inherent risks, each of our programs undergo a thorough and comprehensive risk assessment before every departure. Additionally, all our onsite staff are experienced travellers, well versed in the intricacies of living and working in developing nations and fully equipped to handle any obstacles that may arise.
We take students out of the classroom and challenge them to learn about how the world really works in different places, delivering truly unique study abroad and student travel opportunities.
