SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT INTERNSHIP
Through our exchange agreements you can spend a semester or year abroad. Students who study abroad on an exchange pay University of Mississippi tuition and fees for the semester that they’re abroad and remain enrolled as UM students.
Independent students will find this type of program offers them the greatest connection with the culture and people of the country in which they are studying. The advantages to exchange programs are that students enjoy a high level of independence at a low cost. To learn more about how exchange programs work, click here.

Because courses are offered during winter and summer terms, you won’t miss any semester requirements – plus, spending time with a professor abroad may help you garner a good recommendation for graduate school or a job. Wintersession courses will be posted in September.
We also offer short-term programs through our partners listed above.
