Description:
| Courses are offered in a variety of disciplines, both by a Pitt faculty member, and by British faculty from various institutions of higher education in London. Each course offered is worth 3 credits, except the London Internship which can be 3 or 6 credits. All students must enroll in a minimum of 12 credits and can take a maximum of 15 credits. The London Internships with British organizations and internships are offered to students interested in gaining valuable work experience in their desired field. All credits and grades earned on this program will be recorded into the Pitt transcript and figured into the Pitt QPA calculation.
The University of Pittsburgh collaborates with the CENTERS FOR ACADEMIC PROGRAMS ABROAD (CAPA), the on-site organization which coordinates all of the on-site program logistics. The CAPA office and classrooms are located on Cromwell Road, a few blocks from the Gloucester Road tube station. Students will take classes at the CAPA center or at classrooms rented by CAPA from nearby institutions.
Students will be taking classes and living with other American students. The best opportunities to "meet the British" include interning, living with a host family, or joining student clubs and societies at the University of London at Imperial College. | |
