Junior Year Abroad (JYA) at University College London
Location
England: London
Description
Studying abroad is an intrinsically valuable experience. Wherever you choose to study abroad you will develop key life skills which, in the increasingly global environment in which we live and work, are highly valued by prospective employers. Furthermore the experience of studying in another country and academic system provides valuable insights which will equip you well for any future graduate study.
UCL is a multi-disciplinary university with strength in depth across the academic spectrum. In external assessment its departments have been recognised as producing work of international excellence, much of which is of world-leading quality. UCL's focus on interdisciplinary study promotes collaborative learning programmes and allows the perspectives and approaches of any one subject to inform and enrich the teaching of another. The range of subjects we offer, combined with our consistently high rankings, provides you with the opportunity for complementary study across subject boundaries of a breadth and quality that can be matched by few, if any, universities in the UK.
UCL's central London location brings a multiplicity of benefits. Academic resources such as the British Library and the British Museum, and cultural opportunities including the National Theatre, the Royal Opera House and the National Gallery, are all within walking distance. Social opportunities are exceptional; whether you enjoy arts and culture, museums and exhibitions, clubbing and live music, sports, or restaurants and cafe life, London offers a breadth of choice unparalleled anywhere in the world. If this is not enough, London's status as a global travel hub means that the diversity and cultural richness of over 40 more European countries are just a short flight or train journey away.
Study abroad at UCL offers you an unsurpassed combination of academic, cultural and social opportunities.
