The University of Fine Arts, Hamburg (HFBK) created a semester exchange program for students from several international art schools, including SMFA at Tufts, where international MFA students travel abroad to live and work together in loft studio apartments in the creative hub of Hamburg, Germany.

This two and a half-week program takes place at the American College of the Mediterranean/Institute for American Universities (IAU) in Aix-en-Provence, France and provides an overview on how the Greeks, Romans, and Celts in Ancient Gaul (modern France) influenced French culture and history.
