Program Overview

Spend your winter break in the vibrant city of Glasgow, where an exciting three-week winter program awaits students eager to explore the rich tapestry of Scottish music and culture. During the program, you’ll immerse yourself in the heart of this lively city as you delve into the melodies, rhythms, and histories that have shaped Glasgow's music scene and, by extension, Scotland's cultural identity. From traditional folk tunes to the pulsating beats of contemporary genres, students will have the opportunity to engage with local musicians, attend live performances, and gain insights into the unique fusion of influences that characterize Glasgow's diverse musical landscape.

Beyond the classroom, Glasgow offers a myriad of experiences for students to savor during their stay. Explore the iconic Glasgow Cathedral, wander through the stunning Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, or enjoy a stroll along the River Clyde. Don't miss the chance to venture beyond the city limits and discover the breathtaking landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. Take in the historic charm of Edinburgh, just a short train ride away, or visit the picturesque Loch Lomond. This immersive program is not only a gateway to understanding Glasgow's music and culture but also an invitation to explore the enchanting sights and sounds that Scotland has to offer.
