Students can choose among Queen Mary Westfield College, Birkbeck College, City University, the University of North London and Regents College.
Courses are available in a wide range of fields, and most course needs can be met.
He who is tired of London is tired of Life. Placements are generally the equivalent of an entry level position, and students should expect that it will take a few weeks for the internship to develop, to show that they are capable, trustworthy, and dependable. Students who successfully complete mundane, routine tasks well are generally given more challenging work because they have proven that they have the ability to follow through on tasks assigned, and can be trusted to work independently. Students should think carefully about their reasons for wanting to work in London for semester. An internship can provide valuable work experience, and in some cases, open up new career paths.
