Step 5: Maximize your credits with these tips
- We strongly recommend you consult your Academic Advisor when selecting your courses.
- Are any of your major/minor courses offered in Luxembourg this semester? If not, would an online class or independent study be a viable option to get credit for your major/minor?
- Do you need Global Perspectives? GP can double dip with any courses in Luxembourg with the exception of courses being counted in other Miami Plan Foundation requirements.
- FSB students are guaranteed either MGT 291 or MKT 291 but are not guaranteed both. However, in recent semesters students have been able to enroll in both classes if needed to stay on track.
Immigration and Flights
As of January 2021, the Government of Luxembourg will require MUDEC students with an American passport to apply for a Long Stay Visa to reside legally in Luxembourg. Once we have your passport scan submitted, we will start the process for you and Luxembourg will issue an official letter inviting you to apply.
Once you have that letter, you will send in your visa application, passport, passport photo and fee (approx. 50 EUR) via certified mail to a Luxembourg Governmental Office in the US. Miami will inform you of the correct address and contact person.
They will securely mail you back your passport, with the visa in it! This allows you to enjoy full European residency.
This whole process can take up to two months from beginning to end, so it is very important that you have your passport ready and follow the deadlines we will issue for each step.
Due to travel restrictions and for peace of mind, we will be providing recommended (but not required) routes to arrive in Luxembourg. You would fly from your local city into a larger hub airport to meet the group for the rest of the trip. We will provide information for a travel agent and updates on the cost and routes in May. For this reason, we recommend holding off on purchasing your ticket until then.
Calendar
Please note that while the MUDEC program typically does not have class instruction on weekends, there are occasionally required weekend course-related activities and lectures.
All updated dates and information will be added in due time.
No travel within the Schengen region is permitted before the program due to European immigration regulations. The Type D Schengen Visa is valid only for the dates provided to students from the MUDEC office. Students will need to leave the Schengen Zone on or before the final date. Students may then travel to non-Schengen areas and return to the Schengen region on a tourist visa the following day at the earliest. Please check the travel regulations for that country. For more information on countries that are included in the Schengen region, please consult the US State Department website. Please note that these are legal requirements, not Miami University policies.
**Please note that exact study tour travel dates and times will be finalized by the individual professor at the beginning of the semester. Do not make any travel plans during study tours until you have confirmed travel dates with your professors. Should you have further questions, please contact the professor directly.
