Don't want to study overseas for a semester or full year? Only want to go for 2 to 6 weeks?  Short term programs, including international internships, are a great way of complimenting your UC degree. There are a number of options available during the holidays to allow students the opportunity to travel and study overseas without disrupting normal study periods.

Course Credit & Application

Short term programs and international internships can count as credit towards your UC degree. 
While most of the process will be done through your course provider, you will still need to fill out a Short Term Application Form for us and course credit transfer form so that you can recieve credit at UC for your overseas studies.

Testimonials

"The 2011 Cambridge Summer Schools program was one of the most rewarding and beneficial experiences of my life! I participated in the Science program and undertook the units of Social Psychology and Intelligence: What do Animals Think About? The classes were informatice, interactive and amazing fun.
Experiencing university life in another country is something I now believe every undergraduate should experience! Taking a leap and trusting yourlsef and your abilities is a huge asset for any student. My only woe is that I can't go back next year as I will have finished my undergraduate studies! So I encourage anybody who is interested to get on board and try a Summer Schools Study Abroad program!"

- Courtney Patricia Reis, AIM Overseas- Cambridge Summer School, 2011

"This program was amazing and the experience is unforgetable!"
