What UK Summer Programs Look Like

UK summer programs give US high schoolers a taste of university life in cities like London, quieter university towns like Oxford and Cambridge, or the English countryside. Programs typically run one to three weeks and are hosted directly on university campuses.

Subjects range widely: academic programs in areas like computing, history, or the sciences, creative programs in music, performing arts, or visual arts, and sports-focused programs covering everything from golf to athletics. 

Most programs are designed for current high schoolers, though some welcome middle schoolers or rising freshmen.
