How to Study Abroad in London
Education is one of the things that London does best. With 43 universities located within the city’s limits, London contains the highest concentration of higher education institutions in all of Europe. Many academic institutions, such as the London School of Economics, London Business School, University of Westminster, the Royal Academy of Music, and King’s College London offer world-class specialized educations across a variety of fields in the arts and sciences. Other schools such as University College London and Imperial College London simply offer world-class educations in the more general sense of the word.
Students of just about any discipline will find ample opportunities for study abroad in London. Whether at a local university, international school, or partner institution, you can almost assuredly find a study abroad program in London which matches your academic tastes. Some common subjects of study in London include Economics, History, Theater, Physics, and Medicine and Healthcare, but in no way will students who study in London be constrained to any these fields; in London, the course opportunities are limitless. It is also popular for study abroad programs in London to combine academic study with an internship or supplemental research, as London affords professional and field research opportunities which very few cities in the world can match.
Study abroad programs in London typically last for any length of time, from summer courses, to a semester program, or full academic year of study. Academic calendars vary from school to school within the city, but most tend to run on the trimester system with Autumn, Spring, and Summer terms lasting about ten weeks each. London tends to offer a damp temperate climate year round with temperatures never spiking much toward either extreme, so any time of year will be comfortable for international students.
