Participants in the Brockport University College London Program will normally earn sixteen credits in the fall semester, sixteen credits for the two term spring semester, or thirty to thirty-two credits for a full three term academic year.

Curriculum:

Success applicants to Brockport's University College London program become candidates for admission to one or two departments where they will pursue a course of study. Students will normally study four courses per semester and those wishing to study in two departments are encouraged to split those equally. Courses can be pre-selected prior to departure, but cannot be confirmed until candidates arrive at UCL and meet with their tutor.

There are many nuances to gaining admission to UCL. Those students wishing to study popular subjects such as English, History, and Economics are advised that a minimum GPA of 3.5 is required. English Department fall only students must apply for joint admission to a second department. Spring/summer semester students can apply to English as their sole department if they wish, and take all four courses there. Furthermore, the Department of English Literature accepts only students majoring in the discipine at their home campus, and only students admitted to the Department are allowed to enroll in its course offerings. Students wishing to combine literature with another discipline are advised to appy for joint entry to English and a second department. Comparative Literature courses are also offered-the European Cultural Studies program. Candidates for the Slade School of Art Independent Studio Program (not Fine Arts courses) must submit a portfolio of their work before admission can be secured (an additional fee is also assessed). History of Art students should be aware that this Department is often full in the spring semester and therefore they are encouraged to apply for fall or full year admission. Some of the Department of Life Sciences (e.g., Anatomy and Biochemistry) and Computer Science and Statistical Science, do not offer placements for students wishing to study in the fall semester only.

In each department, there is an Affiliate Student Tutor who has special responsibility to ensure that all affiliate students are fully integrated in to the department and are taking the appropriate courses which make up an academically coherent program. These tutors also advise the students on the method of study and assessment for each course and help the students settle in to the department. Final decisions about the courses to be taken by a study abroad student is made after discussion with the Affiliate Student Tutor upon arrival at UCL.

All participants are examined in the same manner (and to the same standard) as their British counterparts and classmates. The majority of couses in which they enroll are examined formally at the end of the course and in order to be awarded credit, particiants must take-and-pass-the examination at the end of the study period in question.

Global Citizenship Program

There are two activities at the core of the Global Citizenship Program. UCL expects its students to change to the world, and here's where you start. In an action-based course, you will identify a problem in your local government, recruit a community of experts and actors to solve it, and experience first hand the challenges of direct action for a better world. The second core activity is an open seminar in which UCL staff, guest experts and students raise and explore key issues of the moment, in the context of the broad range of ideas and opinions that London enjoys.

Global Citizenship students will also choose from a set of courses newly designed specifically for this program. These courses explore:
