Fulbright UK Summer Institutes for 1st & 2nd Year Students

 If you can imagine spending three to four weeks immersed in the United Kingdom, where academic experiences meet cultural excursions, then the Fulbright UK Summer Institutes are made for students like you, especially if you haven't traveled much outside of North America!


With UK Summer Institutes from Arts, Activism and Social Justice to Environment and Sustainability, you’ll blend academics with practical insights to expand your understanding of your chosen discipline. Beyond textbooks, you will be able to explore the culture and heritage of the UK, enhancing your understanding of the world in ways no classroom can alone.

The US-UK Fulbright Commission and its partner institutions cover program costs, including airfare, tuition, accommodation, and, in some cases, a daily allowance for meals. 

Applications for the 2025 Fulbright UK Summer Institutes are now open! Learn more by registering for an info session:
