IES London
Standard Program IES London Program Founded in 1972, the IES London program features concentrations in British Literature and Theater, International Business, Political Science and International Relations, as well as Area Studies in such fields as Communications, History, Law, Sociology, and Women's Studies. Four additional program options include: - The IES internship program
- IES tutorials on special topics in various concentrations
- Creative workshops in the arts taught by IES and partner universities
- Enrollment in courses in a range of disciplines at British universities.
IES follows the British approach to instruction whereby students are expected to supplement lectures with reading. IES courses are designed to offer students a unique academic experience, combining the traditions of their home campuses with the best of the British university system. A limited number of IES tutorials--an integral part of classic British education--are available each semester in addition to listed courses. IES London also integrates field study into virtually all courses, focusing on the many opportunities for learning that London presents. IES London Summer Program IES London also offers two six-week summer programs: - UK Today. Select two courses from a range of offerings in Art History, History, Journalism, Literature and Theater, and Political Science. This program includes course-related field study to historical and cultural sites in and outside of London, and attendance at London theater performances.
- Internship. This program provides full-time career-oriented placements in business, politics, education and the arts.
Direct Enrollment The IES Direct Enrollment Program offers students the opportunity to truly integrate into British university life. You can expect a rich and diverse experience, both from the city of London itself as well as in the classroom. Academically, you will benefit from studying with world-renowned academics-- research and learning facilities are extensive, including privileged access to libraries such as Senate House, the University of London libraries, and others. Socially, British university culture is vibrant and varied, with clubs and societies that cater to every student from intramural soccer players to Welsh speakers. Enrolling directly in British institutions through IES gives you the best of both worlds: independence and support. Although you have the independence of being enrolled like any other student in the British system, you have access to all of the services provided by both the British institutions as well as the student services provided by IES. IES will help you navigate the British system by providing experienced academic advising and support in registration at your specific institution. IES guarantees housing placement, provides orientation, and gives you the opportunity to participate in optional IES field trips and social functions. You also benefit from IES' commitment to students' wellbeing. All students have access to experienced student services staff, who are trained to support the needs of students studying in London. For the student that is prepared to make the leap, there is a whole new world awaiting you. You must meet each institution's specific requirements, including the requisite minimum GPA (depending on institution, 3.0-3.7 on a 4.0 scale), relevant prerequisites, and Junior or Senior standing. You should select courses in your major or minor and be prepared to provide documentation of relevant prior coursework. London City London, characterized by centuries-old traditions, is the ideal place to study abroad. Past and present are ever entwined in this city, and opportunities for experiencing London's unique culture and history are limitless. You can experience London's energy first-hand through two distinct IES program options: - Enrollment in the standard IES London Program
- Direct Enrollment in local British universities through IES
