Why choose Advanced Studies in England?

Advanced Studies in England is a small study abroad program based in the World Heritage city of Bath, in southwest England (an hour-and-a-half's train ride from London). We offer single semester, full year and a five-week Summer School to a cohort of up to fifty-five US undergraduate students.

We specialise in small seminar classes and one-on-one or two-on-one Oxford-style tutorials in a wide range of liberal arts subjects, taught by UK professors, many from Oxford University. We also offer a range of internships with local organisations, museums and businesses as well as an education program comprising a seminar class and school placement.

Students live in self-catered apartments in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century townhouses within the city. The Program takes cultural enrichment and integration very seriously; offering many opportunities for getting involved with the students from Bath's two universities, and the wider local community.

Best program out there!

ASE is a great program. Hands down, one of the best decisions I've ever made. I loved the trip to Stratford-upon-Avon the most - being able to see three Royal Shakespeare Company shows was life-changing. I formed a lot of close friendships while also gaining a lot of confidence, whether that be academically, socially, or personally. Bath is an absolutely beautiful city that is small enough that you can really get to know every single part of it and feel like a real resident, but big enough that there's still always something to do.

An Extraordinary Opportunity

I was part of this program for a full academic year, and the decision to apply was the best I've made in quite some time. Living in Bath is a uniquely special experience. It's a place where rich history lives alongside a hub of bustling tourism, meaning there's always something to do if you look for it. ASE puts a lot of effort into ensuring its students have as many opportunities as they want to take advantage of; your level of involvement in the community is almost completely customizable to your comfort level, but you have to take initiative. There are mandatory study trips to Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, and Stonehenge, as well as course-specific class trips (for example, to nearby Glastonbury), which means that every student will experience life beyond Bath to some degree. The three-day weekends also allow students an abundance of travel time, as the importance of fully integrating into and exploring the country is stressed early on in the program. In terms of academics, the workload is rigorous but not impossibly difficult, and the smaller class sizes allow for a more personalized learning experience. Every tutor I had was enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable about their subject of choice, and the way classes and essays were structured meant that I developed further as an academic. Equally dedicated and personable were the ASE staff members, who were genuinely friendly and supportive, and I found it hard to leave them behind come the end of my second semester. Altogether, this program offers a perfect blend between schoolwork, social activity, and cultural exploration, and I know that the lessons I learned (both academically and personally) and the friends I made will stick with me for a long time.

A Fantastic Summer in a Beautiful City

I am so glad I made the decision to participate in ASE Summer School 2015. I enjoyed two challenging yet not overwhelming history classes that explored the city and used our location to enhance our learning (Romans in Britain and Domestic Soldiers). I lived in a beautiful 19th-century villa with 7 other housemates and we enjoyed living in a regular neighborhood of Bath, rather than a dormitory. The entire ASE staff was incredibly welcoming and supportive, from giving recommendations on the best pubs, to advice on good day trips, to figuring out the British grocery store. The ASE staff also organized fantastic social excursions for us to Cornwall, London, Oxford, Stonehenge, and Glastonbury--these trips are what make ASE stand out from other study abroad programs. I will always happily remember my time in Bath.

Life-changing

It's very hard for me to believe that it has been just slightly over a year since I was last across the pond and taking part in this wonderful program.

What I believe to be most difficult, especially upon my return, was trying to describe the program and all that had taken place in just the short five weeks. The only word I seem to keep coming back to is "perfect."

Advanced Studies in England (ASE) have put together one of the greatest overall experiences I've ever been a part of. The program sends students to some of the most incredible places that leaves you feeling as though you've seen the variety that's across England. In addition to some seriously astounding views that would even make the most pristine Instagram account blush. The staff is incredible from tutors Rob, Laura, and Bill to the office crew of Emma, Lindsay, Lucy, and Sue. Seriously some of the kindest people I've ever met.

If you choose to explore, make the most of your time, and put in the necessary work, you will be more than rewarded for the effort and will be forever changed for it.

Unforgettable Experience

Summer 2014 in Bath is something I will never, ever forget. I learned so much and made wonderful, true friends. It's been one year and my Linley Housemates and I still talk pretty regularly! I honestly think that I came out of my ASE experience a better version of myself because of all of the support I had from faculty and classmates, the beauty and history of the city and other travel destinations, and of course, all of the laughs and smiles. I wish my school schedule had worked out so that I could do a semester or even a year with ASE, but I am so grateful for my couple of months. I wouldn't trade my experience for the world!

Alumni interviews.

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Jeremy Brinling

Why did you pick this program?

England and studying the BBC. What more could you ask for?

What do you wish someone had told you before you went abroad?

The city or country you choose to visit will change you, and that’s okay. Additionally, there’s no way to prepare for all that you’re about to experience. So, the sooner you can give into the place you're in and pursue opportunity, the better your time will be.

What is the most important thing you learned abroad?

It's very cliche, but, I learned a lot about myself. Five weeks across the ocean, disconnected from a phone, and exploring a completely new area will tell you more about yourself than you could ever imagine.

What do you tell your friends who are thinking about going abroad?

Now is the time. I don't care how old you are, where you are going, or what excuses you might be placing before yourself. Where there's a will, there is a way and surely, this will be one of the most exciting times you could ever have.

What was the hardest part about going abroad?

I'm sure that going abroad during a full school semester is a bit different but I really just had the expected worries: what will I miss out on during summer, will I have fun, will this be worthwhile?

These experiences are amazing, unforgettable, and incredibly worthwhile. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't go abroad during your time at school.

What's your favorite story to tell about your time abroad?

I traveled to Bristol, crashed a wedding, visited a local food festival, posed as prospective students to get a full campus tour of Bristol University, fed a lemur, had the best mussels of my life, watched a skate competition, saw Blackbeard's original ship...and that was all in one day.

Katia Swane-Barzowski

Staff interviews.

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What was your favorite traveling experience?

I’ve been very lucky in my opportunities to travel; I’ve been on safari in Kenya, traveled down the Nile from Aswan to Luxor on a sail barge (which was very Agatha Christie, but without the ‘Death’!) I’ve also been to Russia, and regularly visit France and Germany.

I’m a historian and so I love places with history. I guess that’s why Florence and Siena stick in my mind. The latter in particular, with its huge cathedral, narrow medieval alleyways and the city hall – the Palazzo Pubblico – was just wonderful.

But, to be honest, my favorite travel experience is that of coming home. I’m very lucky to live among the rolling hills of south Wales, and to work in a beautiful and historic city; I still love to come back to its honey-colored streets.

What language have you always wanted to learn and why​?

I’d love to improve my language skills overall – I can manage basic conversations in French and German, but would definitely like to be more fluent in both. If was to learn a new language, I think Swahili.

In part because I’d love to go back to Africa, but also (the academic talking again) it’s such a differently-constructed language from those of Western Europe, but built up of a mix of African dialects, Arabic, Portuguese and English – fascinating.

What changes would you make to the study abroad industry?

Apart from making more students come and study with us at ASE? I think I’d like to see Universities provide better support for directly-enrolled international students, both academically and culturally.

Being dropped into the midst of a foreign university and taking classes with students from another country is often a real sink-or-swim experience. It can be great – a real opportunity for personal growth and exploration, but it can also be quite tough – particularly if the learning and teaching styles are very different from what the student is used to.

It can also be isolating; it doesn’t always result in the international students mixing with native students, either. Without institutional support, international students can find themselves every bit as cut off from the culture they are visiting as those on a so-called ‘island program’, if not more so.

Adventure Awaits

Take part in an international experience that will help you grow both personally and professionally. Academic Studies Abroad (ASA) offers study abroad programs in Europe and Latin America.

WHY STUDY ABROAD WITH US?

Any study abroad program can get you to a country and find you a place to live. It takes a certain kind of study abroad program, however, to provide you with all the tools necessary to ensure that your experience is both memorable and fulfilling.

Unlike many other study abroad programs, ASA keeps the size of our programs small. We firmly believe that group sizes of 100+ students only hurt your ability to integrate into the culture and do not allow your site directors to get to know you.

Since 1999, ASA has been sending college students to study abroad in countries throughout Europe and Latin America. Our many years of experience have helped us develop meaningful, academically challenging, and fun study abroad programs.

The ASA team is a group of people who are well traveled, experienced in foreign education, multi-lingual, always there to assist you, and best of all, they are people who have studied abroad themselves. You will get personal attention from every ASA staff member!

 WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

ASA is a small program, but that’s what makes it so great. The personal attention can’t be beat and I made plenty of friends outside of the group.

— CHELSEA FRANCIS

I would recommend ASA to other students because not only was it a great price for what you get, but it was so much fun and the site director was great.

— MORGAN PECKNOLD

ASA is a very thorough program. It is well organized and structured, yet allows for plenty of independent activity and personal responsibility. There were many times where I felt foreign, but I rarely felt like a tourist. I engaged in the culture with the ASA program, I didn’t just take a picture and a souvenir.

— AARON BANNASCH

After four months, hundred of new friends, and 10,000 pictures, I still wasn’t ready to go home! If you’re still thinking about studying abroad, DO IT!

— AMANDA THYDEN

Studying abroad with ASA was a great experience because it gave me the opportunity to be immersed in another culture and travel to places I would never have been able to visit otherwise.

The Loveliest Study Abroad Experience May 24, 2024

By leah g (psychology, film, public health, brandeis university) - abroad from 01/29/2024 to 05/18/2024 with, advanced studies england: bath - ase study centre.

My experience with ASE was the most worthwhile experience of my life thus far. I cannot imagine my life if I did not choose, as I gained learning how to achieve a balance of social and academic endeavors and how to be independent. This was my first experience living on my own in a completely new place, and I am honored that I had the opportunity to experience it. I learned so much about friendship, community, respect, adjustment, and balance, and I cannot be more grateful.
