Courses in all academic areas are taught by British faculty. Upon successful completion of the program, students earn 16 Boston University credits. Students take one core course and one elective course in their academic area. Each student also meets with the program's internship advisors to refine an area of placement according to ability, professional goals, experience, and work habits. Students participate in London's local work life through assigned internships that complement their particular academic concentration.
Students work full-time, four days a week, while also enrolling in a related course.
