Program Description:

Overview

 
Welcome! This study abroad program is hosted by the Yale Center for British Art (YCBA) and Yale’s Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art (PMC)—a world-class research center in central London. This program is an exciting and unique opportunity for undergraduates to live and study in London during the spring term or the summer break while earning Yale credits.
 
Courses change each term and are 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. Previous courses have included ‘London and the Legacies of Empire’, ‘Writing About London’ and ‘Collecting PostWar London’.  If you are studying a STEM field, Yale in London is a great way for you to earn a humanities credit while studying abroad.

To find more information about upcoming courses visit the Paul Mellon Centre website: https://www.paul-mellon-centre.ac.uk/learning/yale-in-london

Courses are offered as small seminar classes for Yale credit and instructors include Yale University professors and British scholars. 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. Previous course trips include a day exploring Charleston Farmhouse and Monk’s House in Sussex, a workshop at the Black Cultural Archives in Brixton, and a Jack the Ripper walking tour.

The program not only includes trips and visits as part of your course, but also includes social activities designed to help you experience all this metropolitan city has to offer. These experiences are provided on a near weekly basis and previous social activities have included a boat trip on the Thames River, watching theatre productions in the renowned West End, and a group dinner at a curry house on Brick Lane.

Each term students also take a three-day trip outside of London to explore more of the UK. Each term the location will change, and previous locations have included Edinburgh, Manchester and Liverpool.
