What else could you desire from a city? London, a city of 320 languages, 300 museums and galleries, 60 theaters, 5,000 restaurants, and 7,000 pubs, is your new home. And despite all of the choices available to you, the city remains accessible. Once you're here, you'll realize that you are part of a huge assortment of smaller towns and village neighborhoods, each boasting its own distinct character and devoted denizens.
The SU London center is in Bloomsbury, the heart of academic London, and the staff and faculty of Faraday House are ready to help you make your time abroad the experience of a lifetime.

Situated "mid-town," between the West End and the City, Faraday House is on the edge of the Bloomsbury area, London's university quarter. The features of our facility are augmented by the University of London, including first-rate academic library and subsidized student union facilities with gym, pool, and meal options.
The on-site staff of SU London assist students in all their academic, cultural, and personal needs. Field trips, internship placements, and extracurricular activities - including the near-legendary "Love London" weekends - are coordinated by the staff, all of whom work closely with students to provide a culturally and academically rich experience.
To get a feel for what life is like on campus, check out the SU London site.
Expect to be deeply immersed in both your studies and the host culture. Our breadth of curriculum is considerable: over 70 courses, with every SU professional school represented, including architecture.

Arts and Sciences classes include fine arts, political science, and women's and gender studies.
You can also choose from specialized pre-professional programs like design, music industry, drama (at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre) and photojournalism.
In addition, field study and site visits within London are integral to many of the academic programs.
You can also consider supplementing your academic program with a wide variety of internships or volunteer opportunities. Internships provide interaction and hands-on experience with British culture, as well as direct professional experience related to your major and your long-term career goals.
