IFSA - UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON PARTNERSHIP
London, United Kingdom
WHY STUDY IN CITY?
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
One of the world’s top 10 universities and the oldest member of Britain’s Russell Group, UCL is known for research-based teaching and true city living. Highlights include a vibrant arts scene—witness the annual opera production and highly competitive studio arts at The Slade—plus new programs in global citizenship and international health.
At UCL, your backyard is Bloomsbury, a leafy, central London district campus known for its Georgian architecture, museums, cafes, parks, and literary history. Oxford Street, Covent Garden, and the West End are also in easy reach.
Your program also includes IFSA excursions and activities (included, no extra fees) that give you deeper cultural insights. Possibilities include a West End theater performance, a session in the famous The Great British Bake Off tent, and exploring below ground with a former coal miner in Wales.
