Study Abroad in London: Orientation

A special orientation program focuses on the needs of study abroad students. You can meet with an advisor to design a program of study tailored to your needs. You will be introduced to the practical aspects of living in London such as buying a transportation pass and finding the best bargains. Walking tours of the local neighborhoods and day tours of London are also offered, together with a wealth of social events such as theater visits and boat trips along the River Thames.

Students can learn how to get involved in local community life through volunteer opportunities (please note that students who undertake an internship or volunteer work placement must obtain a visa before departure). You will have a chance to meet other members of the University—staff and students— who will welcome you to the community and advise on the multicultural nature of this unique environment.

You will also become acquainted with the University libraries and London library system and introduced to campus social life so you can get involved immediately in the many activities the University and London have to offer.
