[International] Wisconsin in Scotland

[Jenna Graff <graff@uwosh.edu>]

Dear Student:

You are receiving this message because you are a member of the
INTERNATIONAL listserv.

We are now announcing a new study abroad opportunity for UW Oshkosh
students - in Scotland!!!

Immerse yourself in Scottish culture and become a part of the community of Dalkeith!

Join UW students from around the System for a semester or summer in
Scotland. Study under University of Wisconsin and University of Edinburgh
professors while living in Dalkeith House, an 18th century manor house
known to the Scots as Dalkeith Palace. The program includes planned
extracurricular activities to acquaint students with various facets of
British culture, history, politics, and daily life plus course-related
field trips, house field trips and time for independent travel around
Scotland or Europe. 

Internship
Obtain practical experience in your field of study! WIS offers a
limited number of unpaid internships at multiple
internship
sites
(semester program only).

Friendship Family 
Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to spend time with a
Scottish family and enhance your understanding of the Scottish host
culture! While you do not live with the family, you may be invited for
meals, occasional outings to local points of interest or other family
activities. This free host family program is offered during the fall and
spring semesters; placement depends on the number of students who sign
up. 

Location
WIS takes you to
Dalkeith, a
bustling village just six miles southeast of
Edinburgh in the Midlothian
region of Scotland. Edinburgh
and the surrounding region provide an ideal environment for educational
programs. The richness of British history, politics, literature, poetry,
arts, and other subjects come alive at every turn. Edinburgh, the capital
of Scotland since 1124, is a classic European city. There the medieval
grandeur of Old Town,
crowned by
Edinburgh
Castle and
Holyrood House,
joins harmoniously with the modern attractions of
New
Town. The natural beauty of the Scottish landscape and its coastline
provide a majestic background for exploration, education, and enrichment.

The Dalkeith
Estate (the estate on which Dalkeith House is located) is pastoral
living at its finest. There are several nature trails, fishing, the
adventure park and all sorts of animals: sheep, cattle, horses, ponies,
pigs, goats, pheasants and fox, just to name a few. There is also a full
time ranger service. 


Although seventy students may be studying through WIS each
semester/summer, a number of UW System institutions send students on this
program and only approximately fifteen seats are available to UW Oshkosh
students (the program is administered through UW-River Falls).  For
more information on the application process, please visit

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at oie@uwosh.edu,
call us at 424-0775 or stop by to see us in Dempsey 146!
