START Study Abroad Opportunities Summer 2017!

There is still time to apply to two amazing summer study abroad programs hosted by START!

1. Singapore: 
Apply by March 15th

This program embeds a 10-day Singapore study tour in a 6 week-online course, allowing students to be exposed to the fundamental literature and complex theories of radicalization and deradicalization before landing in Singapore to hit the ground running when meeting with officials and researchers without sacrificing a full summer internship or job opportunity to study abroad.

While in Singapore, in coordination with Rohan Gunaratna’s International Center for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at Nanyang Technological University, students engaged with leading experts in these fields, as Singapore is a world leader in deradicalization programs. Lectures and field visits to Changi Prison, the Harmony Center, and other religious and community based deradicalization program centers allowed students to directly apply the theoretical understanding to real-world programs addressing critical challenges in the world.

Program Cost: $4,675.

Dates: June 10-18




2. Indonesia: 
Apply by March 15th 

START Community Resilience Internship Program offers a unique opportunity for students who are studying community resilience and violent extremism and are interested in becoming practitioners in the field of Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) to build their professional and cross-cultural skill-sets in Indonesia this summer. Students will study Bahasa Indonesian language, engage in cultural activities, and learn about Islamic culture in Southeast Asia through an array of seminars at Gadjah Mada University and cultural exchanges. This internship will also include opportunities to meet with Indonesian experts on terrorism and other forms of political violence.

Program Cost: $6,220

Dates: June 29-August 19




These trips are a great opportunity to grapple with topics related to Terrorism Studies, outside of the traditional classroom setting and explore the world with an analytic lens.

If you have any additional questions or want more information about either trip, email education-start@umd.edu
