Program Course Information:

Students are fully integrated into the academic and social life of the University and study alongside British students at either the North or City campus. Students may select courses from both campuses, however, they should make certain that the classes are offered in separate time blocks to allow for travel time between campuses.

Students will take four modules (four credits each) or an internship with three modules for a total of 16 U.S. credits. Begin your module selection process by closely reviewing the following:

London Met Study Abroad Module Lists *Some courses are full-year, be sure to select courses offered by semester only*

You may also wish to consider these two special modules for study abroad students:

  • Art in London (AH201): Explore the rich heritage of Europe through the many Art Galleries and Museums that the city has to offer.
  • Theatre in London (TH201): Allow yourself to be introduced to the breadth of theatre that London has available.

 These courses are a favorite among study abroad students!
