Introduction to UK Culture

The UK may be famous for the Queen, Loch Ness, and the Beatles, but there is much more to understanding the depths of its various identities. Fancy a whiskey distillery course in Northern Ireland, exploring and enjoying the Eisteddfod cultural festival in Wales, or just having a pint down at your local pub? From maypoles and cheese rolling to queuing and keeping infamously calm, learn how to get the most from every moment in this great green country.

Is this course for me?

This course will teach you how to embrace Spanish culture. The lessons you learn will help you grow on a personal, professional, academic, and civic level.

If any of these statements ring true for you, then we highly recommend you enroll.

  • I intend to move to Spain to live, work, or volunteer
  • I plan to study in Spain as an exchange student
  • I love all things Spain, from flamenco and tapas to Don Quixote, Picasso and LaLiga!
  • Someone I know is from Spain and I’d like to improve our relations
  • I’m visiting Spain for a long or short term trip
  • I’m curious how cultural awareness can help me to understand myself and my own culture, as well as other people and their cultures

Behind the scenes

CulturaGo’s Introduction to UK Culture course is the combined effort of many passionate, dedicated, and talented individuals. 

You’ve already met your course guide, Natalie Dunne, who has shared some of her own insights and experiences on UK culture and its people.

Of course none of the content would have been provided without our hard working, determined and incredibly intelligent head writers, both with PhDs from SOAS University in London, England.

Introduction to UK Culture draws on the wisdom and first-hand accounts of a host of contributors. They include young working professionals and students from various areas in the UK, as well as expats from countries in South America, Europe and Africa.

All of this hard work has resulted in a course that’s the first of its kind: a complete cultural guide, purpose-designed to give you the most meaningful experience of the UK.

Course Modules

Everything you need to know about UK culture covered in four easily digestible modules.

The UK at a Glance

Start to build a picture of the UK from the lessons in our first module. Here you will learn about the UK’s geography and history, about its constituent countries—Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England—and its regional identities, but also about the languages spoken throughout the country. You will also find a useful section on the most common dos and don’ts to help you get more familiar with the British way of life.

 

Living in the UK

This module will help you better understand the people who call the UK home. You will learn about many things that may directly influence your friends, fellow students, professors, and possibly co-workers—like the unpredictable UK weather, commonly held attitudes, and how to most effectively communicate.

Thriving as a Student in the UK

This next section is fully dedicated to students arriving to study in the UK. Find tips and advice on how to best navigate student-professor interactions and meet other students who share your passions and interests. Get a better understanding of what UK universities do to support students’ academic success and overall wellbeing, and get practical tips that will help you to succeed on the job market after you graduate.

 

Identities, Diversity and Inclusion

Find useful information about what it means to be different in the UK because of your ethnicity, race, gender, and sexuality. This module collects both historical information and present experiences of local and expat women, LGBTQ+ people, and BIPOC to help you better understand the workings of UK society, and make you aware of your own position. Civil rights, gender and racial equality, safety while travelling are some of the topics covered in this module.
