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. Students receive Bucknell University grades and credit for their coursework. Courses take full advantage of the program's British location with London as the classroom lab. Offering day and overnight field trips to sites in London and the UK, the program engages students in the cultural, historical, political and social issues of the city and region. Housed in flats in central London, students experience this cosmopolitan city like Londoners.

Each semester the program is led by a different Bucknell professor, 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 Theatre in London, Political Economy of the European Union,  Art & Culture in London, Environmental Sustainability Through the London Lens, and History of London.
