All programs depart December 26 and return approximately two weeks later.

All courses are taught by faculty from CCSA member institutions. One does not have to be a student at a member institution to go on a winter program.
Semester Programs
CCSA has developed partnerships with two of the leading universities in the UK to offer our students the opportunity to enroll directly in their programs as full-time visiting students for a semester or even a year.
The University of East Anglia, located in the historic medieval town of Norwich, was recently voted by English university students to be among the highest in student satisfaction overall, while its programs in Environmental Sciences and Creative Writing have achieved international recognition.
CCSA's other semester partner, the University of Manchesteris also internationally recognized for excellence in research and teaching in a wide variety of disciplines, including music and biology. Located in the "Second City" of the UK, a city which in fact is a leader in the production of edgy music and youth-oriented culture, the University of Manchester also allows study abroad students to participate in its Leadership and Service Certificate program which adds involvement in the local community to more traditional academic coursework.
