Act now! Study abroad in the United Kingdom with BCoE
February 11, 2016
STARKVILLE, Miss. — The Bagley College of Engineering is offering an upcoming study abroad opportunity this summer in the United Kingdom.
Open to all engineering students, the trip includes visits to London, Oxford and Bristol, as well as earning three hours of MSU course credit. While taking the course Engineering Mechanics I, students learn how mechanic principles are applied to historic and modern construction from MSU professor Greg Olsen. Required for most MSU engineering majors, it’s a unique opportunity to take the course with only a small number of fellow students.
The program, based out of Cardiff, Wales, will run from July 2 to August 2. Enrolled students gain exposure to other cultures and have access to convenient European travel, with both serving as added benefits to future professional careers.
“The study abroad programs provide students an opportunity to experience other cultures around the world, which is increasingly important in today’s global marketplace,” said James Warnock, Bagley’s Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. “International experience can greatly increase the employability of our engineering graduates.”
With the deadline for this program quickly approaching, students have until February 19 to apply. The cost of the trip is $3,166 and includes lodging, application fees, health insurance and all travel in UK, as well as select tour and admission fees.
Other engineering study abroad opportunities available this summer include trips to Germany and France. Students may take technical writing in Germany from July 2 to August 2 or engineering economy in France from May 23 to July 1. Both of these courses are taught in English, and students have opportunities to tour companies within each country. Applications for both of these programs are also due on February 19.
