Princeton University

"A great opportunity to experience a totally different educational system from the one we know at Princeton as well as a wonderful chance to do it in the middle of one of the greatest cities in the world." -- Laura DeSilva '08

Program Overview
Princeton students entering the Department of English or the Department of Comparative Literature have the opportunity to spend the fall of junior year at University College London (UCL), the oldest and largest of the constituent colleges of the University of London. This program is a result of the combined efforts of Princeton and UCL faculty members and offers a rigorous, exciting, and rewarding program of study at a top-ranked institution in one of the world’s great capital cities.

Princeton students live in UCL dormitories and choose three of their four courses from the regular offerings at UCL. The fourth course is the Junior Seminar in Critical Writing (ENG 300, a Princeton course taught by a Princeton professor exclusively for Princeton students). The seminar culminates in the writing of the Junior Paper.

In fall 2010, the seminar, entitled "Modernist London," will be taught by Maria DiBattista, Professor of English and Comparative Literature and Chair of the Committee for Film Studies.
