Yale in London

Description

Overview

Yale in London Summer Sessions at the Paul Mellon Centre (PMC) offer Yale undergraduates a unique opportunity to study with some of the most exciting and innovative thinkers while experiencing all that London has to offer. The Center is based in historic Bloomsbury, in the heart of London, and an area with a rich creative, literary and academic heritage. Our interdisciplinary courses explore the arts, culture, history and politics in Britain and through its entangled diasporic and global histories. Students will be taught by world-leading academics, writers and thinkers from the UK, as well as members of the Yale faculty. 

If you are in a STEM major, Yale in London is a great way for you to earn humanities credits while studying abroad.

Please note: The spring semester program is no longer being offered.

Coursework & Credit

Courses are offered as small seminar classes and courses change each session. They are offered in humanities subjects, including art history, history, literature, politics and architecture. Courses make use of the collections and resources (museums, archives, public spaces) in London and elsewhere in the UK to explore different facets of the UK’s identity, impact and culture, both local and global. The courses you will take are Yale courses and earn Yale credit. They will appear on your Yale transcript as any other courses you take at Yale. The course titles and grades will appear and will be factored into your Yale GPA.

Courses are experiential and designed to ensure a significant amount of time is spent learning outside of the classroom. Day trips, visits to museums/sites/organisations and guest speakers are a key part of their delivery.
