Teach Abroad

UW-Eau Claire faculty may apply to teach for a semester at Harlaxton College, the British Campus of University of Evansville. You must teach courses from the University of Evansville catalogue.

In general, Harlaxton is seeking a blend of lower-level general education courses and mid-level and upper-level courses that "majors" would be likely to take. They offer a few special topics courses each term, especially if the courses take into account the British context of the Harlaxton experience.

Students in your classes will come from University of Evansville as well as a variety of partner colleges.

Harlaxton College is three miles from the Midland's market town of Grantham and is near the cities of Lincoln, Nottingham, Leicester and Peterborough. London is a little over one hour by train from Grantham Station

Fall or Spring

Housing is provided by Harlaxton College at no charge to the faculty member and accompanying partner/children. Faculty housing is the Carriage House or the Manor. Each faculty and accompanying family will have a private room, however, not all faculty rooms have ensuite shower and toilet.

Meals are served in the Harlaxton College refectory at scheduled times. Harlaxton provides faculty and accompanying partner/children a meal contract at no charge.

UW-Eau Claire faculty members have the option to teach a three-credit course to UW-Eau Claire students participating in the Stirling International Summer School (ISS). The ISS is broken into two, four-week terms. Students take nine credits over the course of the two terms. Of the nine credits, students would take six credits from Stirling faculty and three credits from the visiting UW-Eau Claire faculty member. UW-Eau Claire faculty have the option of teaching during the first four-week block (mid-June to mid-July) or the second four-week block (mid-July to mid-August).  

The proposed courses should be appealing to students from a wide variety of disciplines and fulfill at least one general education requirement. The courses should not duplicate those taught by University of Stirling faculty.

You will only teach UW-Eau Claire students on this program.

As it is a new option, faculty interested in this option should be flexible as the program option may change as we learn from the summer 2011 and 2012 experiences.

Faculty are housed in on-campus accommodations similar to UW-Eau Claire Chancellor's Hall- private bedrooms attach to a shared kitchen and bathroom. Faculty will share facilities with visiting faculty from other partner universities. Accommodations are mixed gender. The faculty member's housing costs are paid by U of Stirling provided enrollment goals are met. Accompanying family are charged approximately 80 pounds per week, per person.
