Global Summer Opportunities

students on global experiences

A summer programme offers an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in a different culture through a combination of academic, cultural, and social activities. 

Students may undertake a short-term experience overseas at one of our partner institutions, lasting between 2 and 12 weeks. These programmes may include cultural, voluntary, or academic components and are open to all undergraduate students, allowing you to select the option that best aligns with your interests and goals. 

In addition to scheduled sessions, participants often engage in social activities and cultural excursions alongside fellow University of Lincoln students. This experience provides a valuable opportunity to enhance your skillset, broaden your global perspective, and gain extracurricular experience beyond your degree. 

Please note that summer programmes are subject to change and are not guaranteed to run every academic year. 

In Summer 2025, students participated in programmes across Malaysia, Egypt, South Africa, India, and South Korea.
