6-week gap year courses and the 10.5 – week Semester

For those aged 18 – 22, undergraduates and graduates

For the dates below, you will notice that we specify the period of isolation in the UK which is obligatory for those entering the UK from the USA who would then like to continue to mainland Europe/Italy.  At the time of writing (28/01/2021) this is the case but a close observation of the ever changing regulations is advised.  Please save your place by entering the application process and laying down a deposit, which is returnable in the event of postponement as a result of Covid-19.  AHA will be sure to advise you of any changes to the regulations and we strongly advise that you buy flights which include flexibility.
