Welcome to SCU London!
A Santa Clara education puts students in real world situations and helps them assess their meaning through a lifelong journey of learning and service. In London this means combining challenging classes with an internship in business, the arts, or public service, so students experience first-hand what life is like in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
The Santa Clara lens is wide-angle, allowing students to understand not just what it is to be a student in England, but what it means to be a professional in a city which puts the “class” in world class. Whether it is experiencing diverse cultures, a vibrant arts and entertainment scene, or provocative discussion of the world’s pressing issues, London challenges the student to develop a new perspective on their future and role in a global society.
This program is especially well-suited for students who are studying Communication, Political Science, Arts Administration, Liberal Studies, Sociology, English, and Business.
NEW!!
The SCU London Program has now expanded to include a Winter Quarter Only and a Spring Semester program. Starting in the academic year 2008-09, students who have traditionally been unable to study abroad in the Fall such as athletes, ROTC members, or anyone with Fall commitments may now have the opportunity to do so in our Winter Quarter Only program or have the same exact experience of the Fall internship program.
The SCU London Winter Program lacks the internship component which the Fall and Spring Semester and Summer programs require, but there are other benefits. Students take one less class and schedule will match exactly the one quarter at SCU. In addition, the Winter program in London will be less expensive than the Spring Semester program and it includes a nice 12 day study tour at the end of the program.
