Study In Scotland

Known for its breathtaking Victorian architecture, thriving live-music scene, year-round festivals, parks, and renowned museums, Glasgow is Scotland’s second-largest city. You will study at the Principia Consortium at the University of Glasgow—an institution especially attractive to those interested in science or preparing for medical school, but open to all Centre students. You will have access to a wide array of courses, including the university’s top-rated art school. Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, is 42 minutes away by train.

Dates

The provisional dates for the spring 2024 program are semester start January 8 - May 24, 2024. Students must arrive earlier for orientation and check in, students should confirm these dates with the Center for Global Citizenship in late Nov before booking flights.

Cost

The same as studying in Danville, plus a $375 deposit (surcharge/emergency fund/carbon offset) due 29 March 2023, and a $25 travel medicine fee which totals $400. Flights to the abroad site are also the responsibility of the student. All pre-departure meetings, including the travel medicine session and the Title IV session are held each semester, these are mandatory. If you have significant financial need, you may also qualify for additional funding from the Center for Global Citizenship.

In addition, during the term that a student spends in Glasgow, he or she pays only Centre tuition (not room-and-board) to the college. For that term, the student uses the room-and-board money that he or she usually pays to Centre to cover housing and meals in Glasgow.

Housing

Centre students will live in University of Glasgow housing, which, although not directly on campus, is within walking distance. Students have several rooming options, depending on how much they’d like to spend for housing while in Glasgow. Students will apply for housing online during the fall before their semester in Scotland and should be sure to watch their email inboxes carefully for instructions on applying from UofG.

Courses

Official course registration takes place after students arrive in Glasgow, Pre-Registration will happen online while you are still on Centre's Campus. You will work with Centre's registrar and your for choosing your classes. Students should be flexible in selecting courses and should not assume that a particular class will be offered, or offered at a time that works with the student’s other selected courses. Neither Centre nor the University of Glasgow can guarantee before official enrollment a student’s ability to take any Glasgow course except Scottish Enlightenment.

A detailed list of Pre-Approved courses is available upon request. Please reach out to the Center for Global Citizenship for this information.

All students take The Scottish Enlightenment, a course specifically designed for the American students who are part of the Principia program at the University.
