GEO London (Business), UK
Study abroad in London for a semester!
Prepare yourself for a future in global business by studying and interning in London, one of the largest international centers of brand development and management. This intensive program in a fast-paced city will require you to balance your academic, work, and personal responsibilities while allowing you to make progress towards your educational, professional, and personal goals by experiencing all that London has to offer.
We have partnered with Global Education Oregon (GEO) to offer this semester-long program where you’ll take courses from faculty with international finance and marketing experience who are experts in their field. Immerse yourself in business culture and best practices through an individualized internship placement in a variety of industry sectors. You will take classes at the GEO Centre in the Bloomsbury area of central London and participating in an internship. London has a very well-connected public transit system, including the "Tube"(metro) and bus. You will be provided with a public transit card ("Oyster card") so that you can explore London and all its secrets to your heart’s content.
As part of the program, you will take classes with local faculty that will complete major requirements as well as Core requirements. Excursions, included in the program and built into the coursework, will give you opportunities to take learning out of the classroom and see other parts of the UK. Locations may change each semester and are not guaranteed but might include locations such as: Bath, Stonehenge, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, Wales, or York.
You will live in shared apartments with other U.S. university students on the program. This program usually has a majority of UP students, but students from other universities in the Pacific northwest are often part of the program as well. These apartments are often a short commute away from the GEO center or your internship.
Our office will be with you every step of the way. While you apply to this program, you will be able to meet with our staff or one of our Student Advisors who have just returned from their own time abroad. We offer guidance and support during the application process, then we will ensure you are prepared for your trip with mandatory predeparture orientations and informational sessions, and continue to work with you as you reintegrate into the UP campus life.
The cost of this program is similar to the cost of Tuition and Room + Board for a single semester on campus. Institutional aid and scholarships apply. We also have a UP Study Abroad Scholarship you can apply to!
PRE-REQUIREMENTS: You must be a Business major.
