UK Fulbright Summer Institutes
———————
The US-UK Fulbright Commission offers special Summer Institutes for US citizens to come to the UK. These summer programs provide the opportunity for US undergraduates, 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 program.
Participants in these programs will get the opportunity to experience an exciting academic program 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.
- There are nine Summer Programs available for US students in 2016:
- AIFS Summer Institute at Shakespeare’s Globe
- Durham University Summer Institute
- King’s College London Summer Institute
- Queen’s University Belfast Summer Institute
- Scotland Summer Institute
- SOAS, University of London Summer Institute (new in 2016)
- University of Bristol Summer Institute
- University of Exeter Summer Institute
- Wales Summer Institute
The Summer Institute 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 programs, subsistence e.g. food and drink.
Eligibility: Candidates must be US citizens and aged over 18 who have a GPA of 3.7 or higher. They must be undergraduates at US institutions with at least two years of undergraduate study left to complete.
