Summer Study Abroad

We are planning for Summer Study Abroad courses to be taught in-person subject to government guidance. Students’ safety is our first priority. Find out how we’ve been working hard to make your learning environment as safe as possible.

Accommodation

Summer Study Abroad students have the option to reserve a space in 1 of UAL's halls of residence. Although UAL Study Abroad and Accommodation endeavour to provide students with suitable UAL accommodation, space is limited and is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

We advise that students book their summer accommodation as soon as they receive their offer letter. Students will only receive the discounted rate once they receive an unconditional offer from the central UAL Study Abroad team. For more details about the discounted rate, please refer to the conditional offer letter.

Entry requirements

Level of study

Summer Study Abroad is suitable for students who have completed at least 1 year of undergraduate-level study.

Level of English

You should be proficient in written and spoken English and be able to participate in group discussions and make presentations. As a guideline we would expect you to have an English language level equivalent to an IELTS score of 6.0 (list of language equivalencies).

The Language Centre at University of the Arts London offers English courses for overseas students who wish to improve their English language skills. Contact studyabroadoffice@arts.ac.uk for more information.

Credit

Record of Study

At the end of your course, we will provide a record of study with the grades you have achieved for each unit and their equivalent US credit value.

To earn credit for your Summer Study Abroad course, please check that your home institution will award external credit before you travel to London.
