Center for Interdisciplinary French Studies at UW-Madison

If you are interested in study, research, or teaching abroad look no further. In addition to the Sciences Po Exchange in Paris we are in our thrid year of the very successful Montpellier Graduate Student Exchange Program.

 

For undergraduates with experience in both business and French, CIFS administers the French Business Internship Program, in which students receive UW credit while working as a summertime intern in a French business.

 

Moreover, CIFS coordinates two programs made available annually by the French government: the Chateaubriand Scholarship, for students pursuing doctoral research in topics related to France, and the French Language Assistant Program, in which Americans teach conversational English in French schools. As additional funding and travel opportunities become available, they will be listed on this page.

 

FACE Montpellier

Would you like to enhance your graduate education by having an opportunity do research and study in another country for spring semester? Would you like to focus on cross-cultural environmental and conservation studies? Would you like to gain knowledge about a foreign country and have long-lasting effects on your future career opportunities and trajectories?We are looking to train global scientists with concrete technical skills and a broad perspective on how science works within specific social, regulatory, and political contexts.

 

Chateaubriand Scholarship

The Chateaubriand Scholarship Program, named after the eighteenth century French writer, is a prestigious fellowship awarded annually by the French Government to about 20 American doctoral candidates. The award, which is designed to foster Franco-American academic partnerships and relationships, allows dissertators to conduct research in France. The award carries a generous stipend plus travel expenses.

 

French Business Internships

For better than a dozen years, the Department of French and Italian and the School of Business have been active in the assignment of students to internship positions in French companies and organizations. To date, approximately 150 students have taken part in the program, which is designed to allow each participant to interact with the French industrial, commercial and business community at the highest practical level. A UW-Madison student in any discipline may apply to the French Business Internship Program.

 

Sciences Po Exchange Program

Sciences Po, located in the heart of Paris, France, holds a prestigious reputation as one of Europe's leading institutions for higher education in the fields of history, economics and law, sociology and political science. The UW-Madison-Sciences Po exchange program, now in its fifth year, allows qualified undergraduates to pursue upper-level coursework in Paris for a semester or academic-year.
