Spend a summer studying at University College London (UCL) with AIFS! University College London (UCL) is consistently ranked as one of the world’s top universities, and you can take one or two modules alongside a truly international cohort of students from all over the globe. Study in the centrally-located Bloomsbury district in the West End of London, home to the British Museum, beautiful garden squares and a rich academic and literary history. Many courses use London as a learning environment, with excursions and field trips in and around the city to enhance your learning.

Where You'll Study

Assessed as one of the top ten universities in the world, and the top research university in the UK, UCL is a multi-disciplinary university with a strength in interdisciplinary study. UCL was founded in 1826 and opened up higher education in England to those who had previously been excluded from it, going on to become the first university in England to welcome women to university education. Today, UCL has 43,000 students and over 11,000 academic staff from over 150 different countries. Students are granted direct access to experts in their fields. An emphasis on global citizenship provides students with a unique academic foundation.
