We're upgrading your Student Portal! Log in and new applications are unavailable now through end of day July 6 (CT)— that's when you'll return to an easier, improved system.

Already working on a form? Anything you submitted before June 30 carried over automatically. Forms that were started but not submitted don't transfer, but don't worry, you'll find the same forms waiting for you in the new portal on July 6. For more details, please review our student system upgrade information. Want a heads-up when the new portal is live? Fill out our interest form.

Thank you for your patience during this transition! We're excited to welcome you into the new portal and continue supporting you every step of the way.

Studying abroad is not only a life-changing experience, but it can often be a spiritual one. Some students have used their abroad experience to discover not only the world around them but to explore aspects of their faith and spirituality as well. IES Abroad welcomes students from all faiths and religions, and like other aspects of the study abroad journey, encourage you to explore and delve deep into the culture around you. Whether you want to find out how people in your host city practice your faith, or if you want to explore a brand new religion, IES Abroad is with you every step of the way. 

As you pray, as you worship, as you meditate—in all the ways you choose to demonstrate your faith and your spirituality, IES Abroad wants to make sure that you have all of the resources you need. That's why we have compiled a variety of resources on worship and religion abroad to help prepare you and support you along the way. 

Browse a collection of IES Abroad and other website's resources specific to the religious and spiritual student experience.

At IES Abroad, we're here to help. If you have any questions about your identity abroad, please contact our Access & Strategic Partnerships Team by emailing us at accesspartnerships@iesabroad.org or by calling 800.995.2300. Know of another resource we should add? Let us know!

“Things are different for me here as far as religion goes, but I am thankful for all of my experiences here, whether they are shared with people of the same faith, a different faith, or of no faith at all. May religious differences never keep us from being kind and loving to those around us.”

Sam H. (IES Abroad Freiburg | Wofford College)
