Study Abroad: Canterbury and London

Complement your learning with an immersive cultural and educational experience in England. For two weeks, continue your literature studies in Canterbury, England, on the University of Kent campus–living among the local student population, learning in the school’s classrooms, and experiencing college life at a British university. Take two full-day trips to London to visit the Tower of London, Shakespeare’s Globe, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and other amazing historical and cultural sites that England’s capital has to offer. Visit Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, and Dover Castle, a medieval castle and one of the most important fortresses in England’s history. Walk along the White Cliffs of Dover. Study theory and literature while exploring the sites, settings, and inspirations of selected writers’ work–including those linked to the volatile reign of Henry VIII.

The University of Kent is a research-led British university in Canterbury, England. Canterbury, the birthplace of Renaissance playwrights Christopher Marlowe and Aphra Behn, is a beautiful small British town in southeastern England that retains a medieval feel. Located roughly 60 miles east of London and 150 miles northwest of Paris, Canterbury is home to the Canterbury Cathedral (the pilgrimage site on which Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales is based) and the Benedictine monastery of St. Augustine’s Abbey. Medieval walls surround the city, the majority still with original construction; you can walk along the walls while touring the town or simply making your way to a local hotspot.
