Summer study abroad

Study abroad

Get creative in Nottingham and have the summer experience of a lifetime!

Summer study abroad is open to anyone who has completed at least one year of an undergraduate course (freshman year) who wants to come to Nottingham, learn something new and celebrate the English summertime.

This will be an unforgettable experience in the heart of England. Made famous by Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Nottingham is a historic city in the middle of England lying on the beautiful River Trent. With two of the UK's largest universities and a massive student population it is a vibrant, exciting city with a reputation for creativity, shopping and a great social scene. And with the London Olympics on the horizon this will be a great time to visit the UK.

During your three-week stay you will follow your favourite creative discipline. Choose from:

fashion design and accessories
architecture
contemporary art
furniture design
design.

You will explore everything that Nottingham has to offer the creative thinker, with daytime studio activities supported by a lecture programme about Nottingham's lively history and heritage. You'll visit museums, galleries and other places of interest on and off the tourist trail, hear from local practitioners and historians and work on engaging projects that will add new work to your portfolio.

A Record of Study including project titles, duration and grades will be available upon satisfactory completion of the course, along with definitions of those grades if required by your home institution.

"We're delighted that more American students will have the opportunity to experience life at one of the top, new UK universities. The Nottingham Trent University Summer Institute will offer everything that we would hope for in a Fulbright exchange: a challenging academic component, a rich and multifaceted cultural experience and an enthusiastic host. The institute will play a key role in deepening the relationship between our two countries and add something new and exciting to our 63-year-old institution."
