IFSA SUMMER IN LONDON
Geotag

London, England

WHY STUDY IN LONDON
London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and one of the most popular study abroad destinations. A sophisticated city with endless cultural, historic, artistic, political, and intellectual offerings, it’s also home to many universities scattered throughout different neighborhoods. London’s excellent public transportation system will take you easily from your housing to classes and anywhere else you want to go. The city’s train stations, bus networks, and airports make traveling throughout the UK and Europe a snap.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Your London summer is full of options that suit your studies in business, arts, social science, or psychology. Take one or two classes per six-week session, diving into UK culture and a topic that fascinates you, from the computer game industry to forced migration, and London’s complex world of class, gender, and race to media psychology. Along the way, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to get to know London’s traditions and history, and explore icons like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the Tower of London.

During your IFSA Summer in London, customize your study abroad experience by taking one or two classes during the six-week Session 1 or take one or two classes during the six-week Session 2. You can also extend your studies by enrolling in both Session 1 and Session 2.
