Again for Spring 2008, the Honors Scholars Program at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will sponsor a semester study abroad program in Great Britain at the University of Wales at Swansea, winner of the coveted London Times award for “best student experience” among British universities, as determined by student votes. We welcome honors students from universities across the United States to join us.
The University of Wales at Swansea, overlooking Swansea Bay, is situated within a large area of landscaped parkland within walking distance of the city center. To the west is the lovely Gower Peninsula with its broad bays and sandy coves. Swansea is a modern city of 200,000 with well-equipped leisure centers and cultural facilities. Swansea can be reached by train from London in about 3 hours. Students may earn 15-17 credits at Swansea by enrolling in four courses and completing an internship.
Students from any major are welcome. Students must be honors students in good standing at their home universities. More information about the program, a description of the honors seminar, links to UWS, and pictures of UWS, Swansea, and Wales are available at this web site:
