Colgate’s study group to Cardiff, Wales focuses on the natural sciences and mathematics.
Overview
On this study group, ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs spend a full academic semester living and learning in Wales. The group is accompanied by a Colgate faculty director who teaches part of the ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs’ course load.
The study group’s operations are embedded at Cardiff University, giving participants the opportunity to live and study with Welsh ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs, as well as with other international ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs at the university.
Academic Focus
The study group will be based at Cardiff University, which, with its ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íø body of thirty thousand ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs, is the preeminent research university of Wales. Colgate ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs register as non-matriculated ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs of the University of Cardiff and have all the opportunities as local university ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs. Students take two elective courses and two requires courses that are designed specifically to reflect the study group’s unique location. The Wales Study Group is intended for majors in the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics who wish to live and study abroad. Although the program is designed primarily for ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs who will be juniors, ÉÁµç×ÊÔ´Íøs who will be sophomores may also be considered.
