The Fulbright UK UCL Summer Institute gives students from universities around the world the opportunity to live in central London and experience life as a UCL student for 3 weeks in July 2022.
Participants can choose between four different modules in the area of Geography and the Built Environment which include ‘Climate Change and Sustainability in Practice’, ‘Energy and Future Cities: Innovating London’s Architecture’, ‘Global London: Contemporary Urbanism, Culture and Space’, and ‘Urban Environmental Politics’. All modules are offered at Level 1, meaning no prior subject knowledge is needed.
The programme uses London as a classroom and, where possible, modules incorporate excursions and site visits to places of interest in the city. All modules are developed and taught by UCL academics and class sizes are kept small to ensure students can engage with teaching staff and classmates alike.
Also offered on the programme is student accommodation close to the UCL campus as well as a unique social and cultural programme to ensure students make friends from across the programme and enjoy their time in one of the world’s most dynamic capital cities.

"My experience with Fulbright was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that shaped my desire to continue with research. Studying with students from diverse backgrounds also opened my eyes to new issues and perspectives I had not before considered."
Madison Plaster, Fulbright University of Bristol Summer Institute 2016
"The group was fantastic and diverse and I enjoyed the discussions and reflections we made about the USA. The cultural activities and the academic field trips were eye-opening and exciting. Driving through the rolling hills and fog in the fields of Exmoor was an unforgettable experience."
Brandon Dorr, Fulbright University of Bristol Summer Institute 2016
"As someone who is deeply passionate about cultural awareness, I had the privilege to learn from different people from all walks of life, including my American cohort, University of Bristol students, and community members from the UK. This, in turn, enriched my academic and personal learning experiences and deepened my global perspectives on cultural relations."
