Spend a semester abroad in the metropolitan city of London, England! With a wide range of academic opportunities across disciplines, iconic landmarks around every corner, and beautiful parks throughout the city, a fall or spring semester in London has something for everyone.
The AIFS Abroad Honors Experience is a unique opportunity for ambitious students seeking an Honors-level study abroad experience or those who are interested in pursuing undergraduate research or a future graduate degree.
Honors Experience students engage further with the local community by connecting with a relevant institution such as a museum, library or archive in order to develop their area of research. The Honors semester culminates in a research proposal that is presented to professional researchers and peers, and participants receive a certificate from AIFS Abroad upon completion of the program.

AIFS Abroad is committed to a Learn-Connect-Grow academic framework that brings together our best practices accumulated during 60+ years of educating 1.6 million students. By focusing on the whole student and acknowledging the intersection of their identities, current academic needs, future goals, and the global landscape, we support students so they can thrive in our programs and beyond.
Professional development is at the foundation of our preparation for participants' time abroad. We utilize the CliftonStrengths assessment as a tool to help all participants understand themselves better, provide a vocabulary around their natural talents, and deepen the impact of their experience abroad.
As an organization we are committed to ensuring all identities are able to thrive in an inclusive global educational environment. Everyone has a complex identity, and the different aspects of your identity are important when deciding on a program and location. Review our Cultural Resources page to assist you when selecting a program that best fits your interests and needs.
