The Site 
London is one of the world's most fascinating and culturally active cities. It is a booming center of business, education, culture, law, fashion, and entertainment. From Piccadilly Circus to Kensington Gardens, there are many things to see and do in London, all of which are reachable by the tube (subway). Located in the South Kensington district, CAPA International Education is close to many sites such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, Hyde Park, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and Covent Garden.

The Program
This six-week summer program gives you insight into the significant ways in which London has been imagined, invented, and transformed by globalization. Explore the diversity of cosmopolitan London with our My Global City events: tour Camden, the birthplace of Punk culture; taste an authentic curry on Brick Lane; or see a performance at Shakespeare's Globe theater. CAPA offers two summer sessions. The first is from mid-May to early July and the second session is from early July to mid-August. Students will have two options for the CAPA London, England Summer Academic/Internship Program. 

Courses, Internships. and Concentrations

Earn 6-9 credits during the summer term (courses are 3 credits unless otherwise noted; internships are 3 credits). Certain courses may carry an additional course fee for the purchase of theatre tickets, supplies, etc., and are marked accordingly. 

Participate in an internship opportunity, earn credit, and gain valuable skills. Note: Students interning in London require a visa. The CAPA Internship Coordinator will locate an internship in the student's general area of interest and provide support services on a continual basis throughout the session. Placements are available in a wide range of sites, including small businesses, corporations, art facilities, government agencies, brokerage houses, publishing companies, museums, radio stations, and many others. Specific placements depend on the background, training, interests, and ability of students, as well as their success in securing the internship in the interview process held during the first few days in London. are generally offered each summer in the following areas.
