Are you a European, International or US student coming directly to us or through current school?
ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã invites students from all over the world, and especially our partner universities, to study abroad with us and experience London for a semester, year or summer before returning to their home institution. All of our programmes are for US/UK/ECTS credit, which easily transfer back to your home institution. As we are the first UK university to be accredited in both the UK and the US, celebrating internationalism and diversity is what we do best. For this reason, we were awarded the Advancing International Education Award in the .
We also offer a range of exciting for-credit internships and have a 100% placement rate for all students who are registered on this programme.
Some students come to us to complete their entire freshman experience in London. We have existing partnerships in place with a number of US university partners, including: University of Southern California (USC) Transfer Applicants & Fall Admission,ÌýSouthern Methodist University (SMU)Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌýTulane University. Often students who are waitlisted at these universities wish to partake in a freshman study abroad option instead of deferring the start of their university acceptance at home. So, if you are a current or prospective student at one of these partners, this is your chance to cross the pond and study what makes you passionate, here at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã. If your university does not have an established partnership with us, you can still apply to us directly.

• A 500-word statement explaining why you wish to join ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and what you hope to gain from the experience
