Study Abroad in England

The Spring 2025 program will be directed by Dr. Kerry Paumi, Professor of Chemistry and Dr. Bruce Johnson, Professor of Economics.

• Weapons of Mass Destruction - DLM 310 Taught by Dr. Kerry Paumi
• Health & Medical Studies Seminar - HMS 300 Taught by Dr. Kerry Paumi
• Economics of London - ECO 321 Taught by Dr. Bruce Johnson
• Economic History of the Modern World - ECO 375 Taught by Dr. Bruce Johnson

Students select three or four courses totaling 25 European Credit Transfer System or ECTS hours (translating into either 12 or 13 Centre hours) from those available across many departments. Students should be flexible in selecting courses and should not assume that a particular class will be offered, or offered at a time that works with the student’s other selected courses, during the time they are at Reading.

The Reading term is 11 weeks long; typically, a course may have two lectures a week, occasional individual meetings with the professor, two papers, and some kind of final examination—although this regime will vary widely depending on the course and department. Students may not use a Reading English course as their required English junior seminar. Official course registration takes place after students arrive in Reading.

The English education system is structured quite differently from the American one. In England our students will take a series of overlapping modules that will add up to the equivalent of 15 credits at Centre. These modules will change from year to year, but one of them will be based on seeing plays currently playing in London. Our students will mostly join the American Theatre Arts course at Bruford, but there is the possibility of our students joining one of the other programs at Bruford.

The estimated cost for each of these programs is the same as studying in Danville, plus a $400 non-refundable administrative deposit. Flights to and from the study site are also the responsibility of the student.
