Program Structure & Courses

Choose to take 2 or 3 STEM courses at LSBU and 1-3 courses at the CEA London Center. By selecting a CEA & LSBU hybrid program, you choose to take courses at both institutions.

CEA courses meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits; LSBU courses are worth 4 credits. You may earn up to 17 credits (up to 255 contact hours).

CEA courses may meet 1-2 times per week. LSBU courses typically meet once a week. Classes at both locations are typically held Monday - Friday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled outside of your normal class time throughout the week. 

Prior to departure you will select your preferred courses. You will be enrolled in courses based on their availability. Partner institution (LSBU) course lists and schedules are not finalized until you’re in London. As such, final course registration takes place on-site. It is critical to understand course availability is subject to change and courses are not guaranteed.  It is in your best interest to get several course alternates approved by your home university prior to your departure date. This will give you flexibility during registration. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
