Fall Semester (September- December): May 15th

Spring Semester (January-May): October 15th

Arrival/Orientation: The arrival period runs from the Wednesday prior to the start of term. The first week of term is Welcome Week, with a mandatory orientation for incoming students on Monday. During Welcome Week, students are expected to meet with their Go Abroad Tutor (academic advisor), finalize their registration, and enjoy opportunity to attend social events for new students and acquaint themselves with the campus and city of Aberdeen.

The University of Aberdeen is a comprehensive university with a broad range of courses available to Nazareth students on exchange. You can go on their website here for a complete listing of classes. 

All incoming exchange and study abroad students are guaranteed a room in student housing. Most exchange and study abroad students are housed in our Hillhead Student Village. Most rooms are singles and then have common areas that are shared with roommates.

The program fee includes:

• Tuition is paid to Nazareth University
• Accommodation Fee is paid directly to the University of Aberdeen

 Out-of-pocket costs include:

• Roundtrip airfare (to and from Scotland)
• City transportation (student rate)
• Meals
• Miscellaneous personal items and personal weekend and fall and spring break travel.

Students will be provided with a cost estimate for out-of-pocket expenses for the semester. Note: eligible students can use their SPARK Grant for this semester long program.

Nazareth students pay the on-campus tuition cost for this program and continue to use their financial aid package and payment plan. Matriculated students are eligible for all financial resources for which they would qualify if they were studying on the Nazareth University campus (including federally subsidized loans). Students are also encouraged to apply for outside scholarships and grants to supplement their support resources.

There is no opportunity for students to receive U.S. Federal work-study funding while studying in Scotland.

The Refund Policy is in accordance with the Registrar's Office of Nazareth University (585-389-2033).

Students will be responsible for arranging and paying for their round trip airfare. Questions about travel are amply covered at orientation meetings with Josh.

All students will need a valid passport that continues to be valid at least six months after the conclusion of the semester program in Scotland. It is also necessary to take proof of health insurance coverage, although a European-based maintenance health program is included in the Program. It is mandatory to take a valid student ID from the home campus, as well a second form of official identification.
