Description

Earn up to 9 credits this summer while hopping between England and Ireland. During this 5-week program, you will get your fill of fantastic literature, international studies, film courses, and great excursions for the full British experience.

Summer in the British Isles is perfect for first-time international travelers; culture, literature, and film buffs; and anyone who wants to earn almost a semester of credits while exploring historic locations. With this study-travel course, you'll receive 9 credits while visiting incredible settings. Get excited about:

* True British experience at a local university - For 3 of the 5 weeks, you'll live with local British students in the residence halls and take classes in a small, medieval university town. It's an authentic taste of English culture.

* Explore all the amazing sites in London - From Big Ben to the London Eye, you can't miss the vibrant capital of England on your trip to the UK. Take a course here during week 4 and really experience this diverse city with your professor and classmates.

* Travel throughout Ireland - On week 5, the study-travel portion of the trip, you'll see tons of locations around Ireland. You will learn as you go to various famous Irish sites such as the Blarney Stone, Dublin, Galway, and more.

* Earn 9 credits in 5 weeks - What better way to earn credits toward graduation than from local and international professors in tremendous destinations?

* Take fun courses on the UK - You'll be more than a tourist. With classes in literature, film, international studies, history, and culture, you'll be studying fascinating aspects of modern Britain in a hands-on learning environment.

* Can't do the whole 5 weeks? You can still come! - Although the 5-week program is the best way to really see the UK, you can also do just the England portion, for 3 or 4 weeks, if that's all your summer schedule permits.
