Courses

Students are required to enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester (this means 6 credit hours per term of spring-summer combined). Interns may choose from the following courses according to language skills:

IAS 380R: Proofs of Cultural Immersion (3 credit hours)
IAS 399R or equivalent: Academic Internship: International (9 variable credit hours)

Students may not take any other courses on this program, including BYU Online courses, without approval by the program director and ISP.

Cost

Cost for full-time students: $7,100–7,600
Cost for accompanying spouses: $6,700–7,200

Includes BYU Latter-day Saint undergraduate tuition, housing, internship placement, and international health insurance coverage.

Does not include airfare, personal expenses, meals, BUNAC ($940), and UK visa ($325).

Accompanying spouses are required to register for a minimum 3 credits but are not required to do an internship.

Funding Sources

Regular BYU tuition scholarships and Federal Insured Student Loans may be applied to international programs. Pell Grants may be applied to fall, winter, and sp-su semesters.

Students who submit the financial aid section of the ISP application, and who have a current FAFSA form on file at the Financial Aid Office (A-41 ASB), will be considered for a Study Abroad scholarship.

Academic departments and colleges may assist with scholarships and grants. Private grants and scholarships outside of BYU may also assist (see kennedy.byu.edu/scholarships).

Students majoring in the Humanities who complete the preparation course and register for 3 hours of HCOLL 399R or departmental equivalent qualify for a College of Humanities program discount that ranges from $1500–3000, depending on one’s FAFSA score. Students minoring in the Humanities who fulfill the aforementioned requirements receive half support. Contact Dr. Brown for details.

Preparation

Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the end of the program. Visas are required and should be applied for no later than three months prior to departure.

Students are required to participate in the prep course, IAS 369R, during the second block of fall semester for the winter program, and during the second block of winter semester for the summer and fall programs. Part-time BYU students and non-BYU students pay an additional $300 (approximately) tuition fee for enrolling in the required pre-departure class.

Accompanying spouses need to be credit-bearing participants on the program. Spouses also will need to apply online and take the preparation course.

International study programs are physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing and you must be in good health to participate. These programs often take place in international locations that do not have the same level of safety and services in terms of transportation, living conditions, residential accommodations, food, public behavior, and policing that you may be used to on campus. If you have further questions or concerns on this, please see the travel policy.

Housing

Students will live in an apartment style living in the Kensington area of London, near historic Hyde Park.

Students are responsible for providing their own meals. Accommodations come with a refrigerator, and cooking facilities are available either in the apartment or on each floor.

Travel

Students are responsible for purchasing their own airfare to and from the program sites. Airline reservations must be made through BYU Travel. Students should contact a BYU Travel agent.
