Semester Subject Intensive Programs (SIPs)
Study abroad students enrolled in an SIP program are fully integrated into the degree courses and study alongside UK degree seeking students. Since the study of art and design is different in Europe, students will find they are working more independently than at their home schools. In addition, students are encouraged to take a hands-on, project oriented approach to learning. Professors offer guidance and support to visiting students in order to help them fit seamlessly into their program of choice. Students will earn 15 US credits per semester. Each subject-specific semester program at UAL is designed with the goal of maximizing the student experience; both in terms of providing a framework for academic inquiry, as well as offering each student the opportunity to work under the mentorship of leading industry professionals. Upon acceptance, students will be will be placed for the semester, in either Year 1 or 2 courses of the program, depending on the student’s portfolio.
Semester Free Elective Programs
Students wanting a diverse course curriculum may choose to enroll in the Free Elective Program, which allows greater latitude in course selection. Each program consists of a set curriculum with the chance to choose from several elective courses for a total of 18 credits. Courses are offered in Fine Art, Fashion, Graphic and Interior Design.
