About
Through volunteer placements and experiential learning opportunities, UConn in London offers students the chance to engage with critical global issues both inside and outside the classroom. The program makes the most of being located in the heart of London for expanding your understanding of global problems in the areas of human rights, social justice, sustainability, women’s rights, immigrant rights, economics, health care, and education. During various field studies you will explore the city unknown to the tourist and in the course of your voluntary contributions to NGO community placements, you will learn more about the complexities of global citizenship in one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the world. All courses inform contemporary debates on globalization and citizenship and include anthropology, art history, human rights studies, political science, and sociology.
