London May-June Program

London May/June students will have the opportunity to live in a city that is vibrant, diverse, and full of history. There are two tracks students can apply for: GE or Internship. 

GE-track students can study literature, history, and other important subjects in the city where some of the greatest literary works were written, and where history comes alive. A global crossroad, London is an intersection of history and modernity, literature, culture, and world business. Students who study in the London program have the opportunity to experience the city's countless theatres, famous museums, numerous parks, varied shopping districts, and iconic tourist attractions such as British Parliament, the London Eye, the Tower of London, and Buckingham Palace.

Internship-track students have the opportunity to gain valuable international professional experience in London while also completing an additional course for credit. Examples of the types of internships available include a focus on fashion, ministry, service, non-profits, publishing, finance, and more. All majors are encouraged to apply. Students will work with the Malibu Office and the London Staff to find an internship that fits with their area of study and interests.

Students will receive 4 units of elective credit for their internship.
