Location and Venue
The year 2008 marks an important milestone for the city of Liverpool: the city has been named the European Capital of Culture. Liverpool is UK's founding charter, and over the course of 800 years Liverpool has grown from a small fishing village to a city with international trading connections. The University of Liverpool and Walden University invite you to participate in an International Academic Residency for Walden University’s doctoral students June 10-17, 2008, which will explore the city’s historic past and provide an insight into the forces shaping contemporary Liverpool.
The University of Liverpool and Walden University have worked to create a unique residency agenda for the program consisting of both traditional residency work (Milestone Seminars, skill sessions, and individual academic advising) and cultural excursions throughout Liverpool (previous activities include tours of Albert Dock, Merseyside Maritime Museum, Walker Art Gallery, World Museum, St. George’s Hall, Cavern Club, and Beatles Museum).

Travel
Students flying to this residency will likely want to fly into the Liverpool John Lennon International Airport or to Manchester International Airport. Students should make flight arrangements only after receiving a Confirmation Email from the Residencies Team.
Accommodations
This six-day residency will take place on the University of Liverpool campus located in the heart of the city. Students must arrive in Liverpool on Monday, June 9 or Tuesday, June 10 by 3:00 p.m. Students must depart from the University of Liverpool campus on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 by 10:00 a.m.
Students are expected to stay on campus for the duration of this residency; the program schedule is not conducive to commuting from another location for the week. We expect that you plan your personal activities in Europe the days before or after the residency.
Costs
The cost for the Liverpool 6-day International Residency is $2, 975, which includes the 6-day residency fees, transportation to and from the Manchester International Airport (on approved travel days), lodging, three meals per day, and all afternoon cultural excursions. Sleeping accommodations are provided on the University of Liverpool campus beginning on Monday, June 9 with check-out on Tuesday, June 17, 2008.
Guests
This residency has been planned with the idea that guests may accompany you. We have arranged the schedule so that students are in academic sessions from morning through mid-day. The afternoons and early evenings are filled with cultural programs open to all guests. In addition to your own residency fee, you will be billed for the housing, meals, and cultural activities for each guest.
If you are planning on bringing guests under the age of 18 to this residency, we require that you bring a second adult guest to accompany anyone under the age of 18.
Information regarding guest registration will be provided in the Residency Confirmation Email. If you have any questions regarding the guest registration process, please contact Residencies@waldenu.edu.
Registration Information
Residency registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please register early to guarantee a place in the residency. If you register less than four weeks prior to the residency, you are not guaranteed to have your name included in all printed materials.
Students attempting to register after the residency has reached its maximum capacity will be placed on a waitlist and contacted if space becomes available. Check the website to see which residencies are open for registration.
Attending an International Residency will fulfill the requirement of attending a 6-day residency. (This will not replace a psychology AYR summer or winter session required for licensure track students).
