Highlights
Imagine yourself ringing in the New Year in London.
London has been one of the world's most important and connected cities for most of the last millennia. It was the center of the world's largest empire, and from the late seventeenth to the early twentieth century, it was the financial capital of the Western world. It was the city of Shakespeare, Dickens, Johnson, Keats, and Blake. It has witnessed the plague, a Civil War, a supposedly Glorious Revolution, the Great Fire, the first Industrial Revolution, the birth of Romanticism, the Blitz, and Punk Rock. In other words, no other city is like it.
Experience the thrill of international travel and immerse yourself in a completely new environment, using London as your living classroom. Engage in class-specific activities designed to deepen your understanding of your chosen field and embark on exciting day trips to iconic destinations.
Join a community of like-minded peers and forge lifelong friendships as you expand your horizons and discover the world beyond your doorstep. Don't miss your chance to make memories that will last a lifetime – apply now!
