Study Abroad in England

There is perhaps no other country that has been so active in the shaping of our modern world as England; the simple fact that billions of people beyond the British Isles speak English today should give some indication of its vast influence. Home to a multicultural population and some of the very finest universities in the world, every year millions of international students choose to uproot from home and embark to study abroad in England. Are you ready to join the movement?

A Guide to Studying Abroad in England

Prepare to Study Abroad

Set goals

As with any study abroad program, it’s never a bad idea to set out with some goals for your time ahead.

  • Making connections with both the people and the place in England you’re studying in can make for a more meaningful experience. Find a personal hobby to connect with while there to make easier connections (ie. join a club, a recreational class, or by striking up conversations with others)
  • Thinking about the long-term academically or even career-wise is an incredibly apt thing to do when studying abroad. Finding a mentor, a specific area of a field you love, or an internship or a lead into further developing your skills can make a lasting impact.

Understand the benefits

Studying abroad in England, a powerhouse for educational experiences can have some major perks. A few exciting ones are:

  • Global outlook. From its more turbulent colonial days to the more positive outlook of modern globalization, England has been a driving force in the integration of the world community. You can experience this firsthand through the classroom and traveling throughout the country.
  • Local narratives. Delve deeper into the fascinating history and cultural dynamics of the British Isles themselves. Between England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, there are many tales of local intrigue.
  • Quality education. Home to some of the most respected universities in the world, England will challenge you academically and personally in the best ways.

Things to know

Regardless of where you head in England, there are some basics to know for any student studying abroad there. Take the time to learn more about your specific school and area.

  • Specifics of the program. Many English universities are private, so tuition can be expensive. Talk to your home university and program about financial aid opportunities. Most common housing options for students include student dormitories, off-campus apartments, and homestays with local English families.
  • Visa and paper requirements. England allows students to enter the country for up to six months before obtaining documentation. Double-check with the English Embassy Directory for up-to-date information and requirements.
  • Cost and logistics. England is a fairly expensive country to live in, so you’ll want to plan a budget. Public transportation is commonly used and has fair prices and long-term passes available.
  • Health and safety. Read up on the current health and safety regulations of England and your program. Create backup documents (passport, visa, etc.), and plans, and have emergency money handy.
  • Cultural and social etiquette. Social culture in England revolves around various specifics, depending on interest, but getting a quick pint or bite to eat is highly common. There are many different types of communities in England, all having a unique social structure. Make sure to do a quick Google search to catch up on the dos and don'ts of any group.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose the course you wish to specialize first. Then, see if you can find out whether your university offers any options for study abroad. Or submit a direct application to organizations that offer the course you are interested in taking.

Depending on the university you want to attend and the program you want to enroll in, some have starting rates of $10,000 a semester. Students should carefully budget for any other expenses since this city is one of the priciest in the world.

If your program is shorter than six months in length, American citizens do not require a visa to study abroad in England. But if your intention is to spend an academic year in London, yes, you will need a student visa.

Latest Program Reviews

Even if it doesn't pan out exactly how you imagined, you'll be glad you tried it.

November 06, 2025by: Makayla Ross - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad London Summer – UK Today

Upon receiving my acceptance to the IES Abroad program, I imagined what a summer living in London would present. I'd secretly hope to meet a London boy (cue the Taylor Swift song), make lifelong friendships, and cross off my London bucket list. Only 1/3 was accomplished. During my time, I experienced loneliness, homesickness, and a bit of regret. My summer didn't pan out exactly how I imagined it. However, for the days that felt endless, there were plenty more that I wish didn't have to end. I am grateful for the experience I embarked on. Although it was scary, I did it, and made it out with cute pics as evidence.
