Student International Travel Considerations

  • Entry Requirement for the United Kingdom: Travelers from the U.S. and most other countries are now required to have a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter and in some cases transit through the UK. Apply for the ETA online or through the UK ETA app. While approvals are predicted to be within three days or faster, students are advised to apply at least three weeks in advance of planned travel in case of processing delays. Visit the GOV.UK page on applying for a UK ETA to learn more.

About UVA Programs

Most UVA programs are designed, developed and directed by UVA faculty. The level of immersion on a UVA program can vary widely: from taking courses exclusively with other UVA students, to taking courses at a partner university with local or other study abroad students. While participants are predominantly from UVA, students from other colleges and universities may participate as well. UVA programs are offered primarily during the summer and January terms, though some (like UVA in Valencia programs) are available during the semester and academic year.

About UVA Partner Programs

UVA partner programs are programs administered by a partner organization and include students from a variety of US universities and colleges. UVA provides input on the academic curriculum and coordinates the application process for UVA students. Partner programs will typically include "in affiliation with" a program in the title.
