US students – studying in London (Global Scholars, London Scholars, Semester In London)

First-year Global Experience programmes

Global Scholars is a year-long programme where students spend one semester in London and one semester in Oakland (starting in either location) before continuing their studies in Boston as matriculated students. It gives students the opportunity to develop agile global skills from their very first semester of study. Global Scholars will be exposed to the UK higher education system for one semester before returning to the US system, which will enable students to become highly adaptable and to develop strong intercultural skills in a short time.

London Scholars is a year-long programme where students spend their entire first-year in London before continuing their studies in Boston as matriculated students. It gives students the opportunity to delve into the London experience and gain global skills. London Scholars will experience the UK higher education system for a full year before returning to the US system, which will enable students to become flexible, independent and resilient.
