agree  Michaela Sommer: Nice try, Henry. I'd be quite interested to see if there are any more suggestions, because it's not that straight forward. I was thinking of s/thing along the lines of international studies in a cultural context...

  -> Looks like it was off the mark. Apparently we were to understand it's scientific studies of foreign cultures. Who would"ve guessed that!? Maybe someone who knew.

Cultural Studies (study abroad)


Explanation:
I think Cultural Studies is more precise than anthropology - strictly speaking.

I think study abroad (or semester/year abroad if you know the time period) or even exchange programme (if this is what it is) is standard terminology.
