Goldsmiths: University of London
Live and study in Europe’s third largest city! Goldsmiths' environment is energetic – a college that allows self-expression to flourish, yet hones your creative and critical thinking. A distinctive constituent college of the University of London, Goldsmiths’ truly local urban setting is not the fashionably-thronged tourist mecca of the more familiar West End. As a result, you will have the chance to see the everyday London not usually visited by out-of-towners, making for a genuinely cross-cultural experience in the UK’s most cosmopolitan city.
With one of the largest music departments in Great Britain and internationally renowned programs in drama and theater, Goldsmiths has established itself as a dominant presence in the study of the creative and cultural processes that influence the arts, media and communications. A full-time course load allows students to attend lectures, seminar groups and/or tutorials, workshops, and studios or laboratories. Students gain valuable international experience as they take classes in London and get involved in campus student life. Discover British culture through this exciting opportunity!
