Skidmore’s program in London, offered during the SPRING SEMESTER ONLY, is unique in that it allows students to enroll in regular university courses at one of four outstanding universities located in London: University of Westminster, University College London, and King’s College.

Just as each student has diverse academic and personal needs, each institution offers a distinct curriculum and atmosphere and a distinct level of integration into the British university system. When choosing a final destination, students should carefully consider the different academic offerings and calendars, housing options, and campus cultures.

NOTE: Due to its academic nature, credits in the Skidmore in London program are treated as transfer credits. Course grades will appear on your transcript, however they will not count toward the Skidmore GPA. In addition, all approved 300–level credits earned overseas may be used to meet maturity–level requirements. All other aspects of the program work as they would in a Skidmore program, including the use of financial aid.

Skidmore’s academic departments and programs have designated specific study abroad programs that best fit the curricular needs of their majors and minors. Please check the approved programs list for your major or minor department to see if this program has been approved.
