Yale-in-London classes are small and are held in a seminar environment. Courses‚ which earn full Yale credits‚ focus on British history‚ architecture‚ art history‚ literature‚ and drama. Courses are offered in both spring and summer. The Summer Program consists of two‚ six-week long sessions‚ each featuring two courses; the Spring Semester lasts for fifteen weeks and features four courses.

Yale-in-London classes are given by faculty based at the Paul Mellon Centre, visiting professors from Yale, and leading British academics. Field trips to museums and historic houses in London and other English cities are an integral part of the program, as are trips to many sites off the tourist track. Drama courses make full use of London's theatre scene, with visits to everything from top West End plays to small, fringe productions, as well as talks by playwrights, directors, and actors.

The Paul Mellon Centre is situated in the heart of London, close to the British Museum and the University of London. The Centre has its own library, classrooms, and students' common room. Student accommodations are provided at convenient, nearby locations. Classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday, generally in the mornings, so that students can explore London or surrounding areas in the afternoons and on weekends. Students are free to visit other parts of Britain or Europe during long weekends or spring midterm break.

All undergraduates are eligible to apply to the Yale-in-London program. Students enrolled in Yale College should note that they do not have to apply for Junior Year Abroad. Tuition and housing fees are charged to Yale students at the usual rates for the Spring Semester, and financial aid is applied in the usual way. A separate fee is charged for the Summer Program, and financial aid may be available. Students should visit the ISA web site, http.//www.yale.edu/isa (International Summer Award) which provides funding for one summer experience for undergraduates receiving Yale financial aid.
