Description : Bochum is a smaller town not far from cities such as Dortmund, Dusseldorf, and Cologne, and it is near to the Dutch and Belgian borders, making it ideal for travel while also providing an intimate community in which to develop German language skills.

UNO students can put their German skills to use at Ruhr University and postgraduate students have more options available in English.

Description : Besançon is located in eastern France in the Franche-Comté region near Switzerland. It is a medium-sized and foreigner-friendly city with good public transportation and many pedestrian walking areas, and has access by short train journeys to neighboring cities. UNO students can spend a summer, semester, year, or more studying in French at the University of Franche-Comté (UFC) and its language center, the Centre de Linguistique Appliquée, or CLA. The university partnership is with the University of Franche-Comté, but students will typically take classes in French language and culture at the CLA. Students who intend to go on exchange at UFC generally spend at least a semester at the CLA first. Every other summer, UNO’s French Department sends a UNO faculty leader with a class of students to spend 4 weeks studying French at the Centre de Linguistique Appliquée.
