London

your place in the world 

By choosing SU London for your 

semester abroad, you have set yourself apart from 

most of your classmates and opened a door to one 

of the most enriching academic and personal 

experiences you can undertake. 

SU has operated a study abroad program in 

London for more than 40 years. During that 

time, we’ve seen thousands of students develop 

their academic passions and strengthen their cultural 

understanding of the world simply by taking advantage of the wealth 

of opportunities London can provide. 

This is a truly global city. London’s cultural, social, and ethnic 

diversity is unlike anywhere else on Earth, and whether you’re a 

budding designer, photographer, actor, or simply a student of the 

world, our experienced staff and faculty are ready to help you get 

the most out of your semester here. By the time you return to the 

U.S., you will not only have augmented your understanding of other 

nations, cultures, and historical and artistic traditions, but you will 

also have seen America from the outside, through others’ eyes. 

This semester promises to be the transformative experience of 

your life. It will change the way you see yourself, your country, your 

education, and the world. My colleagues and I at SU London look 

forward to guiding, assisting, and supporting you on this journey.

your place in london 

Welcome to the ultimate global city. At a time of vibrant 

multiculturalism, London exemplifies the city of the future. Nearly a third 

of the population consists of ethnic minorities, and at least 320 languages 

are spoken in a city that hosts 300 museums and galleries, 60 theaters, 

5,000 restaurants, and 7,000 pubs. 

Despite all this choice, London remains intimate. Living here, you’ll soon 

discover that you are part of the huge assortment of smaller towns and village 

neighborhoods—each boasting its own distinct character and devoted denizens. 

Our center is located in the heart of academic London, and the savvy faculty and 

staff of Faraday House are ready to help you make the most of it all.

program overview 

“Going away made me realize that 

there is so much to be learned and 

seen outside of the United States, 

and it helped me reevaluate my 

career path to focus on global public 

relations firms, in the hopes of 

traveling more in the future.” 

Megan Woods 

(public relations and psychology major) 

Syracuse University 

With over 40 years of experience in 

London, SU is uniquely prepared to help you take 

full advantage of the city’s rich opportunities. The 

curriculum is extensive: more than 50 courses, 

with many SU professional schools represented. 

You will find specialized programs that include 

architecture, design, music industry, drama, and 

photojournalism. 

Special emphasis is placed on guiding students 

toward becoming globally literate citizens. Staff 

and faculty encourage deep cultural engagement 

through academics as well as extensive field study 

and comprehensive internships. 

Have a break between classes The British Museum, 

located just around the corner from the SU London 

Center, does not charge an entry fee, so you can 

drop in as often as you’d like. And with 8 million 

items in the museum’s collection, you’ll need 

multiple visits even to begin to take it all in.

“Taking trips with my Multicultural 

London class was my most 

unforgettable experience abroad. 

My professor taught us about 

the variety of cultures and the 

long history of London. We were 

fortunate enough to have a curry 

on Brick Lane, visit a Sikh Gurdwara, 

attend an event in the Houses 

of Parliament, and visit the 

Docklands museum.”

A signature feature of the London program 

is the wide range of field trips open to all 

students. Experienced staff will help you 

make the most of your time abroad by taking 

you beneath and beyond the “usual” tour 

experience to discover the real England and 

Europe in destinations ranging from the edgy 

East End to sedate Salisbury and Stonehenge, 

and even further—to Paris, Berlin, Milan, and 

Istanbul. Castles, countrysides, the historical, 

and the contemporary are all part of the rich 

panoply of trips on offer. 

Course-Related Field Study 

Take advantage of special out-of-theclassroom 

learning opportunities. The 

following courses offer field-study experiences 

in and around London or to other cities and 

countries. When space is available, the trips 

are open to students who are not enrolled in 

the course, providing they show an interest 

in the trip’s academic focus. Students who 

choose to participate must pay with a credit

living in london 

No other big city is as stimulating and agreeable a place to live as London. 

It’s really a huge assortment of smaller towns, each boasting its own main shopping 

street, or “high street,” full of pubs, grocers, butchers, greengrocers, and corner 

stores, or “shops.” In addition, students who choose to join the University of 

London’s student union will have access to subsidized student union facilities. 

Most students rent their own apartments upon arrival in London. Hotel 

accommodations are provided during orientation while students search for 

available apartments, or “flats,” with the help of SU London staff and student 

guides. During orientation, students are coached on the do’s and don’ts of 

signing a lease and how to use London’s excellent public transportation system. 

You can also choose a limited number of pre-arranged flats, available for students 

who prefer to live in dormitory-style accommodation that you will arrange before 

you arrive in London. 

British students from local colleges act as guides 

for SU London students during their search for flats, 

like these near Bedford Square.

summer study 

Warmer weather makes summer an inviting time to study or intern 

in London. All summer study opportunities are designed to help you make 

the most of London in a matter of weeks. Prospective programs include: 

• Comparative Cultures and Advertising 

• Fashion Photography in London 

• Inside the London Theater 

• International Financial Reporting and Analysis 

• Law in London (for graduate law students) 

• Politics and Media in England 

• Reading Class and Economic Mentality: 19th-Century Fashion Cultures 

• Sex, Gender, and the City 

Never pay full price for theater tickets. Although the 

official half-price ticket booth in Leicester Square is 

a good option (avoid the smaller unofficial stands 

outside the square), you can generally find cheaper 

tickets and better seats by taking advantage of the 

student concession directly from the box office of 

your chosen venue. 

For detailed information about all our summer study abroad opportunities, 

including updated course and program offerings, please visit suabroad.syr.edu.

“I thought I was going to be all alone 

exploring an enormous city for four 

months, but I had a brilliant support 

system in the SU London program 

both personally and academically. 

Charine and Linda in the Student 

Life Office of Faraday House were 

virtually adoptive parents to all of 

us SU London students.” 

Alicia Verdile 

(policy studies major) 


From high finance to high drama, the city 

of London is the consummate classroom. The faculty 

consists of more than 45 scholars and professionals 

with years of experience making the most of all that 

London, Britain, and Europe have to offer. 

The on-site director and permanent staff of SU 

London assist students with all their academic, cultural, 

and personal needs. Field trips, internship placements, 

and extracurricular activities—including the nearlegendary 

four-day “Love London” weekend, as well 

as film clubs, Faraday Pride, engaging field trips, 

and walking tours—are coordinated by this friendly 

and experienced group, whose members work closely 

with students to provide a culturally and academically 

rich experience.

internships 

“Studying abroad in London was 

one of the best decisions in my life. 

Being able to have an internship 

during my stay has proven to be 

an invaluable asset. The people I 

met and the relationships formed 

could simply have not happened 

anywhere else.” 

Dan Bagnall 

(Bandier program) 


Internships offer an excellent way of experiencing the professional, 

working life of London from the inside. Internships provide interaction and 

hands-on experience with the host culture, as well as direct professional 

experience related to your academic studies and long-term career goals. 

You’ll see into the daily workings of the city in which you have chosen to study— 

and gain insights that can be had only through direct experience. 

SU London has developed extensive contacts in virtually every type of British 

institution, including local government, banking firms, research organizations, 

political parties, pressure groups, nonprofit organizations, media organizations, 

the London music scene, and a wide variety of multinational and British businesses. 

Part-Time Internships 

During the semester, internships are part-time. Most students intern 

approximately 16 hours per week to earn credits. Interns must be 

prepared to work on Fridays, when there are no classes held at the SU 

London Center, and at least one other day per week. Interns must also 

enroll in BUA/RAE 400.2 The Global Workplace to earn credit. 

Summer Internships 

Internships and other practical experiences are available in London 

during the summer semester. Qualified students assume unpaid 

positions with political and news organizations, barristers and solicitors, 

NGOs, and corporate counsel while taking accompanying classes. 

Note: All internship requests are subject to availability and an on-site 

interview, so placements cannot be guaranteed.

Syracuse University is chartered by the New York 

State Board of Regents and accredited by the Middle 

States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. 

Professional accreditation for each of the colleges and 

schools accords with the regulations of the appropriate 

professional association. 

While the University reserves the right to change, 

discontinue, or add academic requirements, courses, 

and programs of study without notice, every effort will 

be made to provide timely notice to students. Refunds 

will be made in accordance with the University’s 

current refund policies, as described in the Bursar 

publication “Syracuse University Bulletin: Tuition, 

Fees, and Related Policies.” 

Access 

Syracuse University welcomes students with disabilities 

who are otherwise qualified for admission to the 

program. However, accessibility laws that govern the 

U.S. do not apply to public buildings and facilities in 

Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and other 

countries generally do not provide the U.S. standard of 

accessibility. SU Abroad administrators may be aware 

of architectural barriers that could cause difficulty for 

anyone with a mobility impairment and can advise 

you if the program you have chosen involves extensive 

walking, strenuous travel, or other obstacles. Students 

with mobility disabilities may also find they need 

assistance to access some of our facilities. 

Program Cancellation/Changes 

Syracuse University reserves the right in its sole 

discretion to cancel, alter, or relocate programs, 

before or after a program has started, as it may 

determine necessary or desirable for the safety or 

well-being of students, employees, or the program 

itself. Notwithstanding this reserved right, it is the 

responsibility of each student participating in a 

program to determine whether his/her safety and 

well-being will be jeopardized by participating in a 

program. Syracuse University shall have no liability 

for any exercise of, or failure to exercise, this reserved 

right to cancel, alter, or relocate a program, except in 

the event of gross negligence. Any refunds relating to 

any such cancellation, alteration, or relocation will be 

governed by the University’s current refund policies, 

as described in the Bursar publication “Syracuse 

University Bulletin: Tuition, Fees, and Related Policies.” 

Crime Statistics 

In compliance with federal law, Syracuse University 

can make available to you a copy of Your Safety and 

Security at Syracuse University, a handbook that 

includes crime rates and statistics for the most recent 

three-year period on the Syracuse University campus 

and at the Syracuse University centers in Beijing, 

Florence, Hong Kong, Istanbul, London, Madrid, 

Santiago, and Strasbourg. The handbook is available 

online at publicsafety.syr.edu. 

For complete academic, safety, and other policies and 

procedures, please visit suabroad.syr.edu. 

Student Conduct 

SU Abroad is committed to your health and safety 

while you are studying abroad. You must be in good 

disciplinary and academic standing with your home 

university to be eligible to study abroad and must 

maintain this standing through your term overseas. 

SU Abroad participants are held accountable to the 

Syracuse University Statement of Students Rights and 

Responsibilities, the Code of Student Conduct, and 

the SU Abroad Standards of Behavior while overseas. 

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a 

manner supportive of the educational mission of 

the institution. Integrity, respect for the person and 

property of others, and a commitment to intellectual 

and personal growth in a diverse population are values 

deemed fundamental to membership in the Syracuse 

University community. 

Cost of Attendance 

SU Abroad programs carry a program 

fee alongside the cost of SU tuition. For 

London participants, the fee includes a 

housing allowance, on-site orientation, 

cultural activities, all-school field trips, 

the International Student ID card, and 

other services not covered by tuition. 

The fee also fortifies the broad 

support system we have in place for 

our students: program improvement 

and new program development, postacceptance 

materials, pre-departure 

guidance, and advising for all students. 

Students participating in a Signature 

Seminar and/or pre-arranged housing 

pay an additional program fee. Visit 

suabroad.syr.edu for updated cost 

information.
