Where?
The University of Westminster
At the University of Westminster, you are right at the heart of London, Europe's largest capital city, with access to the finest galleries, theatres, museums, and libraries in the world. Founded as a polytechnic in 1838, the University of Westminster has a long tradition of innovation and of providing opportunities to students in the arts, business, science, and social sciences.
Housing is in the University residence halls. There are some shared rooms, although single study bedrooms are usually provided, depending on the residence hall. Bath and kitchen facilities are shared. Meals are not included in the cost of housing, but students can purchase meals in the university refectories. The cost of living in London is quite high compared to the States and we recommend that visiting students add on another 80 pounds per week for travel, food and entertainment. This could be higher if students wish to take the opportunity to travel in Europe during their vacations. Students in London for six months or more are entitled to free medical care at any UK doctor's office or hospital. If a student is in London for less than six months, they should make travel insurance arrangements in their home country before they leave. Assessment in the Autumn semester is based on either course assignments or examinations, enabling students to return home in time for the start of the U.S. spring semester. Spring assessment is based on course assignments plus examinations. Students will study four modules (classes) per semester. The student's work is assessed for final letter grades according to regular departmental standards, which usually include final examinations. At the end of the study period, a full transcript of grades is forwarded to the student's home university.
In addition to the classroom setting, the University of Westminster provides a series of orientations to assist American students in making the study abroad period a rewarding and exciting experience. These comprehensive orientation programs help students adjust academically, socially and culturally to life in the heart of London.
