WHY STUDY IN LONDON?
London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and one of the most popular study abroad destinations. A sophisticated city with endless cultural, historic, artistic, political, and intellectual offerings, it’s also home to many universities scattered throughout different neighborhoods. London’s excellent public transportation system will take you easily from your housing to classes and anywhere else you want to go. The city’s train stations, bus networks, and airports make traveling throughout the U.K. and Europe a snap.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Designed in partnership with leading U.S. universities, and The Leadership Edge—a top biosciences talent firm that works with more than 1,000 industry companies—and bioscience professionals, this unique program includes critical biology, neuroscience, and public health classes. Plus, opt to take a class at Queen Mary, University of London. That’s just the start.

As you advance toward your degree, you’ll learn how the biosciences sector works and build professional skills through group challenges based on real-world situations, company visits, and guest speakers. You’ll also boost your resume with a leadership certificate, reflecting your newly honed skills.
