EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
Students can also participate in the Service Learning Program that is part of the Department of Urban Studies. Students in this program take the specially designed module Service in the Community with one other "sister" module, which provides the academic framework for the service placement. The service placement is six hours a week for eight weeks. The Service Learning Program requires all students to provide an official State police statement that you have no criminal record. All students participating in this program must enter the UK under the Tier 4 General Student Visa. Due to these unique legal and immigration requirements, students should meet with the UK study abroad coordinator prior to applying. For more information, go to: http://www.gla.ac.uk/departments/urbanstudies/undergraduatestudy/servicelearning/.
ACADEMIC CALENDAR
The Glasgow academic year is divided into 2 semesters. Semester 1 runs from mid September until mid December. Semester 2 runs from mid January through late May. Semester 2 includes a 3 week spring break. Exact dates will be available the semester prior to participation.
