The Fulbright UK Summer Institutes are three- to four-week academic and cultural programs hosted by top universities across the United Kingdom for U.S. undergraduates. Participants get an opportunity to experience an exciting course of study at a top UK university, explore the culture, heritage and history of the UK, and develop their academic ability by improving presentation, research and communication skills.

Each institute has a particular focus ranging from history and cultural identity to art and activism. See the current list of institutes on the US-UK Fulbright Commission website.

The costs covered by the Fulbright Commission and its partner institutions include return US-UK airfare, tuition and fees at the host institution, accommodation, and in some cases, a small daily allowance for meals.
