Description:
The Institute for Study Abroad is proud to have a program with one of the most popular universities in England, the University of Nottingham. Since Medieval times Nottingham has been famous for its association with the legendary Robin Hood. In fact, just north of Nottingham still remains a few tracts of Sherwood Forest, now a popular picnic spot for visitors. Also found in this area are the regal houses and estates known as the Dukeries. Nottingham is located in the heart of England. Therefore, traveling all around the United Kingdom is quite easy. A thriving and cosmopolitan city, Nottingham is the host of several industrial giants. For example, Raleigh bicycles and Boots Pharmaceuticals are based here. With industry comes great prosperity and many interesting opportunities for students. Travelers will find that the city has a large number of quaint shops and lovely cathedrals. Despite enormous growth since the late 18th century the city center still has a number of lovely old buildings. Among them are Georgian townhouses and the beautiful 15th century church of St. Mary's on High Pavement. Several of the city's picturesque pubs have medieval origins. In fact, students have been known to frequent The Flying Horse on the Poultry, the Bell Inn on Angel Row, and the Salutation Inn, among others.
Highlights:
Students applying to IFSA-Butler programs in the U.K. will have the opportunity to live and study in some of the most renowned and respected institutions in the world. A serious and dedicated academic environment awaits those who wish to experience these challenging and rewarding programs. The long history of university education in the United Kingdom dates back to the foundation of Oxford and Cambridge Universities in the mid 13th century. Students who attend university in the U.K. have the opportunity to mix with international students from every country on earth who came to the U.K. to experience the same scholastic prestige. The academic year in the United Kingdom runs along roughly the same guidelines as the American academic year. It begins in late September and ends in mid-June. Teaching terms usually consist of three, ten-week periods separated by two four-week breaks, but increasing numbers of universities have switched over to the semester system.
