Program Details

This trip will be taking exciting architectural tours throughout numerous cities! Outside of these incredible designers/architects, this trip will get to see long awaited sites like the Gruntvig Church, along with several museums that explore architecture and furnishings, etc. Art Nouveau, Scandinavian Modern, International design, and other periods will be explored. This group will be fortunate to cover some even older periods as they tour the Trinity College in Dublin to view the library and the Book of Kells. There is also a tour set up at the Belleek Ceramics factory in Northern Ireland. Glasgow tours at two campuses; University of Glasgow and the Glasgow School of Art. Due to a recent fire at the latter, there will only be an outside tour. But, this trip will be experiencing the Willow Tearooms, also designed by Mackintosh! Edinburgh tours include both Romanesque and Deconstructionist Buildings.

Trip Cancellations

If Weber State cancels a trip for any reason, all participants will be refunded 100% of funds paid to the school. If a participant withdraws from the program for any reason, they are subject to the refund policy found on the first page of the application.  Deposits are always non-refundable, unless the program is canceled by Weber State.  No refunds will be issued 30 days prior to program start date. 

Refunds will NOT be given to students due to COVID-19 concerns. Before programs were canceled in 2020, every student was given the option to withdraw from programs without penalty due to COVID-19. This year students are applying, cognizant of the pandemic. Weber State will not intentionally place students into high risk situations. We will work together with Program Leaders and Departments on canceling should the destination demonstrate increased risks, be they from COVID or any other concern. As such, students must abide by the standard refund policy.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Study Abroad Office at (801) 626-8711.
