  • London: 
  • London
  • Yorkshire & the Humber:

Term: Summer 
Dates: June 6- July 7, 2008

Description: The KU British Summer Institute in the Humanities provides a wonderful opportunity for its participants to combine study and travel in the context of an interdisciplinary academic environment.

In addition to the classroom lectures and discussions, reading and writing assignments and final examination, the program of study is enriched by visits to literary sites like the Bronte Parsonage in Haworth in the Yorkshire Dales, world-class museums like the National Gallery and the Tate Modern, historic sites like the Tower of London and Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands, as well as royal palaces and stately country homes. Every effort is made to integrate what the student learns in the classroom with what he/she experiences when visiting historic sites and buildings or viewing artistic masterpieces.

Highlights: Dates, Itinerary and Highlights (2008)

June 6 - 20 London: In London, members of the Institute will visit such well-known attractions as St. Paul's Cathedral and the new Globe Theatre as well as lesser-known attractions such as the Museum of London and Sir John Soane's Museum. London will be the point of departure for all-day excursions to Oxford, one of the most famous college towns in the world, and to Salisbury, Bath and Stonehenge. Students will have a long (three-day) open weekend in London for independent travel and exploration.

June 20 - 23 York: York is known for its cathedral, medieval walls and the cobble-stoned streets of the Shambles.

June 23 - July 6 Edinburgh: Edinburgh, the old capital of Scotland and the seat of the newly reconstituted Scottish Parliament, is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Walking tours will introduce Institute participants to the fascinating contrasts between the New and Old towns.

June 27 - 29 Highland Trip: This three-day trip will take in the sights of the Scottish Highlands, including Glencoe, the Isle of Skye, Eilean Donan Castle and Loch Ness.

July 6 - 7 Return to London: A return to London will mark the conclusion of the British Summer Institute with a gala farewell dinner in a traditional English restaurant or pub. The program ends on July 7.
