Please note that Harvard does not grant credit for a short fall term only- this policy holds whether you are participating in a program or applying directly to a university.
Harvard students planning to study in the UK must enroll for: 1) the full academic year; 2) fall or spring semester at a school with 12+ weeks of class per semester (not including exam periods); or, 3) both the second and third terms (spring) of a trimester academic schedule. Additionally, some British schools only permit/prefer visiting students to enter for the full academic year. All students studying abroad in the UK must take end-of-year examinations for all courses for which they are permitted to take exams.

RAE (Research Assessment Exercises) ratings provide helpful information about the strength of individual departments within universities in the UK.

You should be aware that Harvard has a policy regarding sponsored undergraduate activities in any country for which there is a current State Department travel warning.
