Excursions

API students participate in excursions designed to help familiarize them with the culture and surrounding areas of their host city and country. The following is a listing of potential excursions for API London programs. API may need to modify the excursions offered in a given term due to travel restrictions or health and safety concerns.

  • British Seaside

    This excursion is designed for students to escape the heat of London by visiting the British Seaside. Depending on the weather, activities could include water sports like surfing or kayaking or a traditional lunch of fish and chips. Students will also have some free time to explore the coastline, sun themselves on the beach, play games on the pier, or go shopping in town.

  • A Historic Royal Palace

    Explore one of the many historic royal palaces in and around London! These palaces show the extravagant wealth of the previous and current royal families of England and hold collections of art, furniture and jewels that are truly priceless. The buildings themselves are also marvels of architecture and show how each palace was adapted and redesigned for each monarch.

  • Caps, Cobblestones, and Cathedrals

    Fancy yourself a scholar? Join us for an excursion to either Oxford or Cambridge, two of the most popular university towns in the UK. For over 800 years, both Oxford and Cambridge have been home to universities that bear their names. Each place hosts popular activities like punting down the river, touring the beautiful campuses, and taking in historic sites. Walk in the footsteps of some of the world's most famous alumni like Alan Turing, Stephen Hawking, Rosamund Franklin, Riz Ahmed, Emma Thompson, Zadie Smith, Philip Pullman, and many more!

Housing

London is a large city, so all students can expect to use public transportation (i.e. tube or bus) to move around the city on a daily basis, both getting to school and for social/cultural activities. It is a part of life in London. Generally, it will take students 20-45 minutes to get to school from their housing via public transportation or walking. Housing will be located in Zones 1, 2, or 3 on the tube map.

Students will be housed in student apartments. Most apartments have several single rooms with a shared living room and kitchen. Some have ensuite bathrooms in each bedroom, while others have shared bathrooms. The kitchens are equipped with ovens, stoves, microwaves, and refrigerators. Wireless Internet is provided in all flats.

We may place students in a few different student apartment buildings depending on where they are taking classes. We will prioritize having students share an apartment with other API students, but it is possible that API students would share an apartment with non-API students.
