Short-Term Study

Want to study in the US? Not sure if you’re ready to go for a full undergraduate or postgraduate degree? Short-term study may be for you.

Short-term study programmes may last for a summer, semester or entire academic year and allow UK students to study in the USA without the obligation of completing a full degree programme. Short-term programmes are available at all levels, from school to postdoctoral level and can be a taster experience to see if you want to pursue longer-term study in the USA.
