Bucknell in London

Bucknell in London

The Bucknell in London program is offered in the fall and spring semesters and is open to qualified sophomores, juniors and seniors. Second semester sophomores may also apply with special permission from the appropriate dean. In both the spring and fall semesters, all courses are designed to take full advantage of the program’s British location, offering day and overnight field trips to sites in London, outside of London in the UK, and beyond. All courses receive Bucknell University grades and credit. Students are housed in flats in central London. The program is designed to introduce students to the many aspects of London - cultural, historical, political, social - and have students experience this cosmopolitan city like a Londoner.

The program is led by a member of the Bucknell faculty, who teaches a course in their field and supervises a broader program of courses taught by British faculty. These generally include a mix of courses in the social sciences and humanities, such as History of London, Theatre in London Art & Culture in London, Environmental Sustainability in London, and courses in political science, economics, and/or literature.
