New UK Summer Institutes Announced
The US-UK Fulbright Commission is pleased to announce the opening of its competition for the inaugural UK Summer Institutes at Newcastle University and Roehampton University in London. The four to five week cultural and academic programmes are open to US students who have completed no more than two years of University level study.
The Summer Institutes will cover the majority of the participant costs. This includes round-trip airfare from the US to the UK, tuition and fees at the University, accommodation and social programme, subsistence e.g. food and drink and visa processing.
Participants in these programmes will get the opportunity to:
- Experience an exciting academic programme at a highly regarded UK University
- Explore the culture, heritage and history of the UK, visiting museums, galleries, theatres, cities and historical sites
- Develop their academic ability by improving presentation, research and communication skills
- Meet people from all over the world, make friends and experience life as a real student in the UK
- Become an ambassador for studying in the United Kingdom
