Welcome to
Fulbright Teacher Exchange

Designed in 1924, the Fulbright UK/US Teacher Exchange programme is run by the British Council in collaboration with the US Department of State.  Each academic year, around thirty teachers from the UK have the opportunity to conduct research, study, live and work in the USA for up to one academic year.
What is Fulbright UK/US Teacher Exchange?
Interested in spending six weeks, an autumn term or a full academic year teaching in the United States?  You can gain valuable international teaching experience, immerse yourself in a different culture and even earn 60 credits towards a Master's Degree.  Find out about the Fulbright UK/US Teacher Exchange programme, the application process and accreditation.
