Summer Study Abroad Programs in England

Visiting England will make you feel like Doctor Who, traveling back in time through a pop-up history book. After spending the day in lectures or learning about the wonders of England, you’ll spend the evening munching on meat pies and downing a pint with your new mates in one of the (many) pubs available (you can find them on basically every street corner!).

With a blend of modern and historical sites, cultural diversity, and endless landmarks, you’ll never want to sleep in London. This capital city, standing on the Thames Rivers, offers sights and sounds that will keep you and your peers actively engaged during your summer study abroad in England. Your classic field trip morphs to visiting the Shakespeare Globe Theatre, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, and more. To soak up some Vitamin D, trade in your scholarly glasses for some sunglasses and walk through the Columbia Road Flower Market. A London summer is incomplete without a visit to the Open Garden Squares weekend.

In southwest England lies Oxford, home to the University of Oxford, the oldest English-speaking university in the world. While you’re not surrounding yourself in scholastic endeavors in this medieval city of spires, gather your peers and grab some Pimm’s to go punting along the riverbeds for an afternoon. Stroll through the tranquil Botanic Garden and then cool off in the marbled halls of the Ashmolean Museum to learn about archaeological centuries-old artifacts.

A 45-minute train ride away from London, Cambridge is a collegetown mecca, with a network of cobbled passageways to walk along the same paths as scholars like Sylvia Plath, Charles Darwin, and Sir Isaac Newton. To take a breather from your studies, explore the Backs alongside River Cam and experience the tranquil views of gardens, bridges, and colleges. Ready to amp up the fun? Nothing says summertime like food, festivals, and fairs – round up your classmates and head to the Midsummer Fair or the Strawberry Fair to go out on the lash.
