Program Overview

Program Description:

International study and immersion in another culture provide an inquiry-driven introduction to different perspectives, cultures and histories, as well as a valuable background for working in the global economy. This program offers students the unique opportunity to study communication and public speaking in one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in Europe. Studies focus on communication issues in Great Britain.

Classroom lectures and presentations are augmented with excursions to a multitude of London sites including Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, where speakers have assembled to express their views since the middle of the 19th Century. The program also uses London’s varied theatre events as the lens through which students explore persuasive communication. All courses offered will count toward the Communication major and the Communication minor. This program is open to all students, though it is particularly geared toward Communication majors or minors and students in the Honors Program.

Setting Description:

Students stay in furnished apartments in the Florida State London Study Centre or in comparable accommodations within central London.
