CIEE’s expansion in England and Scotland is part of our overarching plan for thoughtful additions and updates across the entire CIEE worldwide study abroad portfolio to better meet student demand and open the door to study abroad for a greater diversity of students. We’ve started by updating our portfolio in several popular Western European locations, including previously announced updates to our Spain, Italy , and France Portfolios.

Expansion of CIEE’s Great Britain Program Portfolio

The expanded CIEE portfolios in England and Scotland now offer a larger variety of best-in-class study abroad programs to meet the needs of students with diverse academic needs, budgets, and interests. The portfolio includes existing, updated, and new programs taught at multiple host institutions or by CIEE faculty:

• Discipline-based Programs – include courses taught at host institutions and by CIEE faculty. New to the CIEE London portfolio is a semester-long Business and Culture program.

• Multidisciplinary Programs 
  • CIEE “Semester in” Programs – are designed to increase access to study abroad by offering broad eligibility with minimal prerequisites. Students can access hundreds of courses from host institution partners and CIEE faculty. Starting in spring ’24, we will be offering CIEE Semester in London, CIEE Semester in Edinburgh, and CIEE Semester in Glasgow.
  • CIEE Arts & Sciences Programs – enable students to direct enroll at partner institutions to take general studies courses. Since English is the language of instruction at host institutions in Great Britain, via our direct enroll programs, CIEE can provide access to renowned British universities to study abroad in a variety of disciplines, such as Humanities and Social Sciences, Science and Engineering, Medicine and Dentistry, Law, or Business and Economics.
  • CIEE Open Campus Block Programs – allow students to take up to three consecutive 6-week academic blocks in London or combine 6-week blocks in London with 6-week blocks in 15+ other CIEE Open Campus Block locations. These programs are ideal for comparative global learning and for students from quarter schools.
  • CIEE Global Internships – provide a network of employers in London and Edinburgh across a multitude of industries who can deliver valuable work-based learning opportunities.

New! CIEE Edinburgh

Located in southeastern Scotland close to the North Sea, Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, is famed for its striking medieval architecture, rich 1,000-year history, cobblestone streets, and acclaimed museums. Edinburgh’s literary heritage and its world-renowned annual arts festival make the city an incredible place to study abroad for students passionate about writing and theater. Plus, the city’s commitment to renewable energy makes Edinburgh an ideal destination for students interested in climate and environmental sustainability.

New! CIEE Glasgow

The largest city in Scotland, Glasgow has a thriving cultural scene and a wealth of green spaces, historic buildings, colorful street art, quaint pubs, and friendly people. As a major hub for biotech companies and scientific research, Glasgow is particularly appealing for students pursuing business and STEM degrees.
