Field Trips
Syracuse London field studies opportunities include weekend trips and day trips designed for all program students, and field trips tied to specific courses. The all-university trips change from semester to semester, but past destinations have included Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, and Edinburgh.
Course-Related Field Study
Take advantage of special out-of-the-classroom learning opportunities. Some courses at Syracuse London offer field-study experience in and around London or to other cities and countries. Please see course descriptions for more information. When space is available, the trips are open to students who are not enrolled in these courses, providing they show an interest in the trip’s academic focus.
Course-related field trips are mandatory to attend, and some may take place over the weekend. Thus, please do not make travel plans before you arrive in London and see your course outlines. Otherwise, you might need to rearrange your personal travel plans at your own expense, as course-related field trips take precedence.
