Opportunities for UIS students

Full Semester/Year

The U. of Hull is an exchange partner with UIS which means that UIS students can study at Hull for one or two semesters while paying their tuition to UIS at the same rate they would be charged to study at UIS.  Financial aid applies and students are eligible to apply for travel scholarships.

Short-Term Program in Human Trafficking and Immigration

During the summer, UIS offers a short-term course examining human trafficking and immigration historically and today. Leveraging Hull's unique history—home to abolitionist William Wilberforce and the site of the Wilberforce Institute's research on contemporary slavery and immigration—UIS students will collaborate with University of Hull staff and graduate students, culminating in research projects.

Sangamon Experience

UIS and the U. of Hull have begun collaborating on the Sangamon Experience project to help trace the travels of Europeans to the USA and ultimately to Springfield and the surrounding area. Students will be able to participate in this research both through the short term study program above but also through independent studies.
