The cost to study abroad on this semester program is the same as studying in Danville, plus a non-refundable deposit of $400 due to the Deputy Bursar on March 8th, 2024.

Students are responsible for the cost of flights to and from the study abroad site. Additional spending money for food or activities outside of those organized by the study abroad program is the responsibility of the student. 

When booking flights, remember: almost all flights from the U.S. to England are overnight flights, therefore you'll be departing the U.S. the day prior to your arrival in England. Plan accordingly. Students arriving at London’s Gatwick airport can take the hourly direct bus between Gatwick and Heathrow and then catch a bus from Heathrow to Reading. 

During Reading’s weeklong orientation, students will finalize their course schedules; meet others in their residence halls; take part in social events, excursions, and student fairs; and get information about student clubs and travel opportunities in the UK. 

Students arriving early or staying past the program end date are responsible for finding and paying for their own accommodations.

Students will live in on-campus housing with other University of Reading students. Students can expect to be placed in either single or double rooms with shared kitchen spaces.

Students select three or four courses totaling 25 ETCS hours (translating into either 12 or 13 Centre hours) from those available across many departments. Students should be flexible in selecting courses and should not assume that a particular class will be offered, or offered at a time that works with the student’s other selected courses, during the time they are in Reading. Students will work closely with our registrar and the Center for Global Citizenship's Assistant Director to have their courses approved. 

The Reading term is 11 weeks long; typically, a course may have two lectures a week, occasional individual meetings with the professor, two papers, and some kind of final examination—although this regime will vary widely depending on the course and department. Students may not use a Reading English course as their required English junior seminar. Official course registration takes place after students arrive in Reading.

Centre-in-London students live and study in a secure building with fully furnished flats and classroom facilities, in what is arguably the best location for study-abroad students in London. Walk to many of London’s most famous attractions, including the British Museum, the West End (London’s Broadway), Trafalgar Square, and more. Walk just 5 minutes to the Tottenham Court Road Underground station, served by the newest, most technologically advanced subway line in the world, the Elizabeth line, as well as by the Central and Northern lines. Together, they offer connections to seven additional lines just one stop away, making it the only station of the more than 200 with such easy access to the 10 principal Underground lines. It’s as if all of London is at your doorstep.  

Centre students receive regular allowances for groceries to prepare delicious, wholesome meals in their flats. The allowance is not enough, however, for eating out. London is, after all, one of the most expensive cities in the world.

The Rose Bruford College will assist in finding appropriate accommodation for our students, although the college does not, at the moment, have any residential facilities of its own. Past experience has shown that our students have been housed in apartments within easy walking distance of the college.

The English education system is structured quite differently from the American one. In England our students will take a series of overlapping modules that will add up to the equivalent of 15 credits at Centre. These modules will change from year to year, but one of them will be based on seeing plays currently playing in London. Our students will mostly join the American Theatre Arts course at Bruford, but there is the possibility of our students joining one of the other programs at Bruford. See their website for more information on the possibilities: www.bruford.as.uk.
