Why London?
London is the capital of the United Kingdom in both geographically and socio-politically. This major European city is the economic and financial heart of the country, and a crossroads for people across the nation and the world. People of different convictions and cultures intertwine to create a city at the center of media, culture, arts, and politics.
Student Life
We strive to make sure you feel safe, cared for, and at home while you’re away from home. Whether it’s the orientation program that makes you feel prepared, your housing that is well-located and comfortable, the cultural events that make it easy and fun to meet other international and local students, or the field trips and walking tours that take you to places tourists don’t usually see—we’re all about our student service. Learn more about the day-to-day studying abroad on this program. From field trips to housing, it’s all on IES Abroad’s website.
