England
(London, South Coast and Oxford)
We aim to give students an insight into English life and history by visiting London, the English South Coast and Oxford University. The rise to an imperial superpower and then the gradual decline of the United Kingdom in the last two centuries has been a global story.
This visit is aimed at understanding and experiencing the country of Queen Victoria, John Lennon, William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, Charles Darwin, Harry Styles and Boris Johnson! We see dazzling culture, beautiful scenery and fine cities. We meet rich and poor, immigrants from the former empire and symbols of ancient greatness.
This visit takes in the successes, the crises, the great achievements and the serious issues in England today. We visit three English universities, and we take a look at how the English system works for local and overseas students.
