Students

Study Abroad Students at LCP automatically become members of LISU, London Institute Students Union, which organises social events, societies and sports clubs, as well as providing you with student representation if needed; have access to the libraries and open access computer facilities within the London Institute's many sites; join other international students who are participating in the Study Abroad programme, as well as those that are studying full-time at LCP; have access to the London Institute's Student Services, which provides professional assistance and guidance including disability support, accommodation advice, counseling and a careers service.

Before You Apply

You should ensure that the course syllabus offered is recognised by your home institution. You will need to speak to your Programme Leader in the first instance to seek their advice on course suitability and course work, and will also need to secure their written approval. On request we can forward a Course Handbook to your Programme Leader which describes the structure, content, learning objectives and assessment criteria for your course.

Living Costs

We recommend that you budget for £750 - £1,000 per month for living costs and day-to-day expenses whilst in London. This figure should cover rent, food, travel, study materials and your 'going out' money.

Working

As a student you are eligible to work up to 20 hours per week if you are studying for longer than six months. The London Institute Careers Service publishes a useful jobs online section each week. This gives details of many part-time and vacation jobs that London Institute students can apply for. In addition there are many local papers and recruitment agencies which regularly publish vacancies.

Financial Aid

You may be eligible for federal loans or financial support within your home institution. To find out more, you will need to discuss this with your Study Abroad Officers. Unfortunately the London Institute does not offer scholarships for Study Abroad Programmes.

Accommodation

If you are offered a place on a Study Abroad Programme you can apply and book a place in one of the Halls of Residence or apartments managed by the London Institute. Please note places are limited and very popular, so early application is advisable.

Getting There

The main site of LCP is well situated just three minutes walk from the Elephant and Castle underground station on the Bakerloo and the Northern lines. All of Central London is easily accessible from this transport hub. The Back Hill site is near to Farringdon and Chancery Lane underground stations. See locations.
