Thanks to UCEAP, you can enjoy the benefits that both of these cities offer for students. There are four different UCEAP program options offered in London, one of which is a new multi-city option in London and Paris—the BBC’s two highest-rated student cities. Check out the official UCEAP website for detailed information on Perspectives on the Global City, UC Centers London & Paris, a spring quarter program.

The BBC commends London for having some of the top universities worldwide right within its city limits, including Imperial College London and the London School of Economics. On UCEAP, you can study at either one of these universities, or at the UC study center in the heart of the city. Read more on the program pages for each of these options: a spring semester or academic year through Immersion in United Kindom Universities at Imperial College London, a summer at the London School of Economics, or a fall semester studying Art, Politics, Society & Space at the UC Center London.
