UK Study and Research Exchange Program

Dear students, please see below.

Would you like to go to Cardiff (Wales), take courses that will count towards your degree/UF GPA from a world-class University AND work in a Cardiff research lab (all for UF credit)? Below is a new, exciting opportunity for you to study at Cardiff University as a CLAS exchange student and work in a research laboratory. Successful applicants will pay UF tuition while at Cardiff University. All scholarships (i.e. bright futures), fellowships, and financial aid can be used (including FL prepaid). Housing is guaranteed (single rooms) and is a bit cheaper that what you would pay for on-campus housing at UF. Additional information about Cardiff University can be found here: https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/about. 

The details:

1. Between 3 and 15 UF research credits/semester can be awarded for working in a laboratory at Cardiff.
2. At https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/study/international/study-abroad-in-cardiff/modules, a list of biology course that can be combined with research credit are included. Instructions: Under ‘choose a subject’ select Biosciences, and then click ‘filter modules’, this should bring up links to all of the Cardiff available courses (called “modules”). They are listed in alphabetical order, so please note the ‘level’ column which shows whether each module is L4 (Year 1), L5 (Year 2), or L6 (Year 3). Courses you are interested in require approval from your advisor.
3. You can take other, science or non-science courses, in combination with the above courses. Please see attached sample of courses that have been pre-approved. Note that these are only a SAMPLE of potential courses. Other courses listed in the Cardiff catalog can be taken for credit with approval of your advisor.
4. You must take a total of 60 credits per semester. Two semester exchanges are highly encouraged.
5. If you are interested in the Cardiff exchange please apply through this link: https://www.advising.ufl.edu/beyond120/global-engagement/cardiff-university/ If you are also interested in taking research credit please see additional instructions in the attached “Applying for a Research Project” (note that you can go on the exchange without participating in the laboratory research component).
6. Research credits can count towards UF graduation with honors, senior thesis, etc.

This program is part of the CLAS Beyond 120 exchange program: https://www.advising.ufl.edu/beyond120/clas-exchange-programs/ If you have questions, please contact Brian Harfe, Ph.D. (bharfe@ufl.edu).
