The US-UK Fulbright Commission offers special Summer Institutes for US
citizens to
come to the UK. These summer programmes provide the
opportunity for US undergraduates (aged over 18), with at least two years of
undergraduate study left to complete, to come to the UK on a three, four, five
or six week academic and cultural summer programme.
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 and develop
their academic ability by improving presentation, research and communication
skills.
“It was literally the best summer of my life
so far…I am so thankful for this experience and hope that it continues to grow
and expand so that more students can participate!”– 2012 Participant
