Honors Semester in Wales with UNCW
Posted by Jessica on April 29, 2009 in Study Abroad
Again for spring 2010, the Honors Scholars Program at the University of North Carolina Wilmington will sponsor a semester study abroad program in Wales at Swansea University, 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 Setting: Swansea University, 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.
Costs and Application: $8,700 (this figure is approximate at this time but deemed to be fairly accurate). The cost includes tuition and fees, accommodations, study abroad health insurance, orientation, local bus pass, and scheduled field trips. Not included are airfare, meals, and books.
Applications may be requested from the Office of International Programs, UNCW, Wilmington, NC 28403-5965.
