This is a 10-week Summer Program, with all classes beginning on May 26, 2026 and ending on July 31, 2026. All travel will take place during Summer II.

If you know someone who went on the Texas State to Canterbury Program prior to 2026, you may have heard that this program includes some group meals/meal reimbursement, a Travel Card (Oyster) for the Tube (London subway system), and entry into all required academic excursion sites. This has changed, starting in 2026. In an effort to keep costs down for students and give students more agency in the decision-making process about food choices and which excursions they want to/need to attend for their classes, some of these expenses have been eliminated and students will need to budget for these expenses themselves. Here is list with approximate costs in each category.

Housing app. $1439 (in the past, housing has been figured into the program budget. Starting in 2026, in an effort to avoid paying a third-party provider to broker housing reservations and to keep housing costs down by up to 10%, students will pay out of pocket for housing. Students will pay Canterbury Christ Church University directly for housing reservation in early March)
Food app. $500 (depending on how much a student eats out, versus cooking at home)
Britrail pass app. $300-$700, depending on the type of pass students purchase (must purchase from US at least a week prior to departure for the UK)
Oyster (London Tube) app. $50, depending on personal travel (in the past, London Tube Cards (Oysters) have been figured into the program budget and provided for students. Starting in 2026, in an effort to allow students more travel flexibility and agency in the way they pay for the Tube - ie. credit card swipe, app, or Oyster card - the budget no longer includes Tube cards or Tube travel reimbursements)
Academic excursions app. $100, depending on the excursions students choose (in the past, all academic excursions have been figured into the program budget. Starting in 2026, in an effort to allow students more flexibility and agency in how they visit academic excursion sites, this line item in the budget has been reduced to allow students to choose from an array of academic excursions most valuable to them. However, some excursions are still covered for all students in the program budget)
Books $0 (all class reading materials are available on the course Canvas sites)
