Academic Semesters

Anglo American is one of the leading providers of academic services and student accommodations for colleges and universities with their own semester or year-long programs in London. Accredited by the British Accreditation Council, we assist our partner institutions in a wide variety of programs, ranging from those concentrating on liberal arts or general education requirements, to those geared to undergraduate majors in specialized subjects.

An important consideration for any overseas academic program is access to classroom and office space and to computers. The Anglo American Study Centre contains the facilities to meet these requirements. A further consideration for Education Abroad professionals, students and parents is the availability of quality accommodations. Anglo American provides fully furnished two, three and four-bedroom apartments or dormitory-style hotel accommodations in central and desirable locations in London.

The Anglo American team works closely with partner institutions to develop customized programs in order to meet their needs and objectives. The staff also has over 30 years of experience in Education Abroad with a strong background in curriculum development. Support is available both to universities that have their own semester programs, and to those needing assistance with total curricular offerings taught by qualified British instructors. To complement classroom instruction Anglo American, using London itself as a resource base, makes arrangements for field trips and lectures by academicians, business leaders and professional practitioners in all major fields.

As a growing and integral part of its academic services, Anglo American offers high-quality internships for junior, senior and graduate students during the semester and summer session. Excellent contacts in business, education, the performing arts, the media, health care and political organizations enable Anglo American to facilitate placement of students in supervised internships and service learning projects.
