A visa is not required for this program.

No foreign language is required. Students should remember that some word usage is different and a strong accent might make it challenging to understand some people, but it is all part of the experience.

London is a very expensive place to live so keep that in mind while budgeting. On average, students bring between $2,100 and $2,600 for the semester. Students should also take into account if they will be doing additional traveling before, during, and after and of course budget for plane tickets.

This program is quite flexible with a variety of majors and it works well for Business and College of Arts and Sciences students. However, students can check with their advisors or Fr. Art Wheeler to make sure that this program will best fit with their plans.
