Program Information

International study is becoming an increasingly important part of undergraduate education. Immersion in another culture provides an inquiry-driven introduction to different perspectives, cultures and histories, as well as a valuable background for working in the global economy.


Through this program students will have a unique opportunity to study communications and public speaking in one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in Europe. Studies will be tailored to focus on communication issues in Great Britain. Classroom lectures and presentation will be augmented with excursions to a multitude of London sites including Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, where speakers have assembled to express their view since the middle of the 19th Century.

 

Eligibility
This program is open to all undergraduate students, though it is particularly geared toward students enrolled in the Honors Program, as well as students majoring or minoring in Communication or other related disciplines.

 

Housing
Students stay in furnished apartments in the FSU London Study Centre or in comparable accommodations in central London.

 

Scholarship Opportunity

Students in the University Honors Program are encouraged to apply for travel scholarships from the Bess Ward Endowment to support participation in the London Honors Semester in Communication.
