Program Course Information

Students are fully integrated into the academic and social life of the University and study alongside British students at either the North or City campus. If possible, students should strive to take all of their courses at either the North or the City campus; however, students can take courses at both campuses if the courses are held at different times of the day, i.e. morning and evening, to allow for adequate travel time between the campuses.  At both campuses, students may choose from more than 400 classes. In addition to coursework, a limited number of 3 credit internships are available.

Accommodations

All participants will live in Nido apartments. Nido is a large complex of two modern buildings, made up of two towers (North Tower and South Tower) with a large communal area and amenities. The Nido complex is located in the Kings Cross area of central London.

For travel to London Metropolitan University and around central London, students will need to purchase a London Travelcard. The London Travelcard allows unlimited access to buses and the underground in Zones 1 and 2. Shortly after arrival, participants tour the city on a bus and take a Thames River cruise, both of which are included in the program. Travel outside of London can easily be arranged through the student travel office conveniently located on campus.
