Highlights

At Edge Hill University, you can get the best of both worlds. The picturesque setting in the northwest of England is removed from urban noise and distractions, yet is only a short distance from seaside towns or the city lights of Liverpool and Manchester. The location is also superb for travel in England and the rest of the UK - London and the southeast, the Lake District, Wales, and Scotland - and Europe. The attractive 75-acre campus is situated on the edge of the historic market town of Ormskirk. All of Edge Hill's study abroad students live on campus. They reside in the dorms with British students and receive a meal plan for on-campus dining. This busy town retains the friendly atmosphere characteristic of rural England.

College Consortium for International Studies (CCIS)'s Mission Statement

The College Consortium for International Studies, a partnership of colleges and universities -- two and four year, large and small, public and private, domestic and foreign -- encompasses the broad spectrum of international higher education. CCIS members sponsor a variety of programs, notably study abroad programs and professional development seminars for faculty and administrators, which are designed to enhance international/intercultural perspectives within the academic community. Recognizing the value of such experiences in fostering global understanding and peaceful cooperation among nations in an increasingly interdependent and rapidly changing world, CCIS is committed to developing international dimensions as an integral part of collegiate education. CCIS works to build collaborative arrangements among institutions who share this commitment, and to facilitate linkages between member institutions and international partners. In all of its programs and activities, CCIS strives for a high level of academic excellence.
