Application Instructions: 

If you are applying to a Pitt-recognized program (PRP), you must work concurrently on the internal Pitt application that you create at www.globalexperiences.pitt.edu and on your program provider’s application through their respective websites. You can’t move forward without completing both applications. While program providers’ application deadlines are often later than our internal Pitt deadline, you have to finish the Pitt application’s pre-decision steps by our internal deadline. A Pitt GEO Advisor will ensure that both your GPA and your disciplinary record allow your status to be changed to “nominated” on your Pitt application.  The actual acceptance to your PRP comes from the provider only after you are nominated by Pitt. 
 
This program is housed in the Swanson School of Engineering, but is open to Pitt students that are not engineering majors. As stated above, you will work on both applications simultaneously and be approved to move forward in the process by the SSOE Global Experiences and Engagement Office.  Be sure to review the  University of Leeds' application. and the University of Leeds Summer school. website prior to applying.   
 
Please note that the Pitt application deadline and the Leeds application deadline are NOT the same. 
 
Reach out to your Pitt GEO Advisor with any questions. We are here to help!
