Virtual program in Edinburgh
Travel virtually with us to Scotland’s hilly capital to learn in-depth about Scottish culture and identity while engaging with professionals from your field of study. Students learn about topics such as the Scottish Enlightenment and the challenges facing contemporary Scotland. Guided visits to Edinburgh’s Castle and the Holyrood Palace take students further into the history of the city and prepare them for a future in person visit. There is so much to learn and explore in Edinburgh and its surroundings and we can’t wait to host you there!
