Commenting on the Summer Institute, Michael Scott-Kline, Director of the Fulbright Programme, said:
“We’re delighted that more American students will have the opportunity to experience life at one of the UK’s top universities. The Queen’s University Belfast Summer Institute will offer all that we would hope for in a Fulbright exchange programme: a challenging academic component, a rich and multifaceted cultural experience and an enthusiastic and welcoming host. The Institute will play a key role in deepening the relationship between the US and UK and will add something original and exciting to our 63-year old institution.”
