1. You must apply to your intended program for admission by applying online from the program’s website. Select the Program Website button below to be directed to more information.
2. You must apply to Yale Study Abroad for approval to study abroad and the ability to transfer the credit back to your Yale degree.

Notes

Direct enrollment vs. study abroad provider

You can choose to either apply directly through the university for admission, or apply through one of the following study abroad providers: Arcadia Global Studies or IFSA.

Applying through a study abroad provider still allows you to directly enroll at the university, but with an additional level of services and support. Because of these additional services, it often costs more to study abroad through a provider than to apply directly through the university. We encourage you to research both options before making a decision. If you have any questions, contact a study abroad adviser.

Additional Application Notes

If you are considering applying to King's College directly or applying through a provider, apply as early as possible. The number of spots for study abroad students is limited, and admission is not guaranteed. King's College rolling admission prioritizes those students who apply early. It is also recommended to have a back up choice if applying to King's College, in case you do not get in, and that backup should be something other than University College London (UCL) because UCL is also difficult to get admitted to.

Also, we’ve seen that UK universities are taking longer to let students know of their admission decision, so by applying to study abroad at a UK university you should expect it to take longer to hear back about your admission decision. If you don’t get admitted, you’ll need to withdraw from study abroad to be able to register for your semester classes at Yale if you didn’t select a second-choice program that you want to switch to. You cannot be approved to study abroad and register for classes for the next semester at Yale.
