IES: London - Study London
Through the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES), Whitman students may enroll at the IES London Center to study with British faculty on the Study London program. The IES Center in London offers courses in art history, politics, history, literature and drama, economics, philosophy, sociology and film studies and strives to use the city of London as "the classroom." The program also offers a wide range of internships in theatre, museums, government (including Parliament), think tanks, social organizations and education that may be taken for credit.
“I got to study with students from other universities in the U.S. Also, we were taught by phenomenal professors from all over the world and we got to learn a lot about British culture. I got to really integrate in the culture of London especially through the internship program that IES offers. I got to visit different parts of England due to the field trips that IES offers.” - Georgina D. '17
