London Program

The University of Chicago London Program provides students in the College with an opportunity to study British literature and history in the cultural and political capital of England. In the course of this ten-week autumn quarter program, students take four courses. Three of these are literature and history courses, each compressed into approximately three weeks and taught in succession by Chicago faculty. The fourth course, on the history of London, runs throughout the term at a less intensive pace.

London itself -- England's capital, with a history dating from Roman times -- is central to the mission of this program, and it is expected that program participants will make a serious project of exploring its corners. Toward this end the program includes a number of field trips both within and in the vicinity of London (possible sites, varying from year to year, include Bath, Canterbury, Cambridge, etc.). Program headquarters is a facility operated by the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES) in the Bloomsbury section of London.
