Follow the steps below to help plan studying at an international university through the UH Mānoa International Exchange (MIX) or UH Mānoa Study Abroad Center. For additional assistance, reach out to your TIM advisor.
- Narrow your selection by country and school.
- Think about when you’d like to study and where you’d like to study and if the school offers the courses you need.
- TIM students are highly encouraged to consider TIM partner schools!
- Additional countries and schools are available through:
- UH Mānoa International Exchange Program
- UH Mānoa Study Abroad Center
- Review non-partner schools that offer TIM courses.
- After you figure out when you plan to study overseas, determine which courses you will need/want to take during that semester(s). You will want to confirm that the courses you need/want are offered at your school of choice.
- Remember the TIM 368 course option! TIM 368 can fulfill hospitality, tourism, and transportation electives.
