Program Overview

Bring your passion for Black heritage to London, one of the world’s most diverse cities and home to generations of migrants from the Caribbean and Africa, including the post-WWII Windrush Generation.

Examine the Black experience from multiple angles through courses focused on history, identity, and influence, while customizing your schedule with electives in fields like business and psychology. Learn at the IFSA Program Center in Mayfair with faculty based in London, and choose to deepen your academic experience by enrolling in a class at the University of Westminster or Queen Mary, University of London for a supplemental fee.

Explore London beyond the classroom—from Portobello Road Market to the Tower of London—and connect with Black culture in places like Brixton’s Black Cultural Archives and Notting Hill’s Caribbean art galleries. Your program fee includes enriching excursions and activities that reveal layers of London often missed by tourists.
