Spring 2018 will be my fourth trip taking students to London over spring break with FSU International Programs. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to study abroad and see many prehistoric and historic cultural sites and experience modern London as well. Previous students made lasting friendships in addition to learning first hand about English culture. Visit the links above to see what we have done during previous trips. I hope you come and join us in Spring 2018!

OVERVIEW

This program allows students to delve into British civilization’s history from the Neolithic to the Millennium. Collections of artifacts are observed at famous London museums, building upon the archaeological methods and participant observation techniques learned in class. Ventures away from London will include a day trip to Salisbury Cathedral, Avebury, and Stonehenge to explore the World Heritage sites. Participants will also explore modern London and take in a West End theatre performance. Time is also set aside for afternoon tea, cultural interactions, and various historic landmarks.
