University Group Trips and Study Tours
Our featured college and university group trips are tailored specifically for further and higher education student groups, with tour itineraries containing the right level of educational content, as well as plenty of entertainment to keep your trip both inspiring and fun.
We help arrange hundreds of student group trips each year
Where the content of other overseas trips can be quite generic, for university groups, the itinerary needs to be tailor made to perfectly match the subject and coursework your students are reading. Spending a bit more time finding you the best university study tour means that each group gets the best possible experience, no matter whether you are taking a short haul environmental science trip to Iceland, or a long haul business and economics tour in China.
Perhaps you know exactly what you want and already have a list of excursions planned, or maybe you are not sure where to begin and just require some good advice to get you started. The trips below can all be adapted and tailored to guarantee you a successful university group tour at a student friendly price, so please get in contact and we can advise on the best possible educational tour for your college or university students.
