The Program
The London program at London Metropolitan (Met) University offers students an opportunity to combine a period of residence abroad with an integrated educational program in an area of the city where the local Londoners live and work. The program enables you to gain firsthand experience of the British educational system in an exciting city while studying alongside students from all over the world. You will be able to select classes from a range of subjects including Art and Design, Business, Marketing, Economics, English, History, Social Sciences and Psychology. Students typically select four classes per semester which can include specialized courses, some of which include visits to art galleries, museums and theatre, utilizing London’s thriving cultural life as a unique backdrop for further study and exploration. London Metropolitan University allows you to schedule your classes before you arrive in London, making it a very easy process. There are very few restrictions on the types of classes you can take; however, you should ensure that your academic advisors give prior approval for each class before arriving in London.
The International Programmes Office provides a friendly focal point and ready source of information. The friendly and committed team is there to help you arrange your semester. Their objectives are to ensure that you have an integrated study experience and to help you make your study abroad experience rewarding. There is an induction before formal teaching begins, which includes a welcome reception, registration and orientation. Students are fully integrated into the academic and social life of London Metropolitan University. The university has clubs for all social activities, and offers a wide range of student support services, library and learning resources and fitness, sport and recreation facilities.
Each semester begins with a weeklong orientation program, which includes pre-arranged airport arrival reception, registration and orientation, as well as open access to the university-wide welcome program, enabling students to become fully integrated into the academic and social life of the university. During orientation, the study abroad team provides information about living in London, dealing with culture shock, the British higher education system, teaching and study methods, health and safety issues, and travel opportunities in the UK and Europe.
