Overview
The Fulbright U.K. Summer Institutes are three-to-four-week programs for U.S. undergraduate students who have no or very little travel experience outside North America. Participants can explore the culture, heritage, and history of the U.K. while experiencing higher education at a U.K. university.
Depending on the Institute, students will have the opportunity to: study alongside leading academics and professionals, develop knowledge in specific fields, experience cultural and social events, visit U.K. cultural sites and areas of scenic beauty, receive credit to transfer to their home institution, meet people from different backgrounds and cultures, and become an ambassador for studying in the U.K. for the Fulbright Commission and their host institutions.
