Study Abroad

More than 30,000 US students chose to do a study abroad program in the UK last year, making it the most popular study abroad destination. We use the term "study abroad" to refer to programs that last anywhere from a summer to a semester or year at a UK institution and do not necessarily culminate in a degree.
