LIFE ABROAD
Live and study in the heart of London as part of a diverse and multicultural student body! Spread across three campuses, you’ll love attending classes in the fashionable shopping district of Holloway Road in the central London borough of Islington, in Shoreditch in London’s vibrant East End, or in the historic “City of London,” now the base of London’s financial district. With excellent public transportation and lively, walkable city streets, it’s easy to explore London’s many activities! Academically, London Met’s practical course offerings are focused on employability and are the perfect way to gain skills needed after graduation.
LIVE
Make friends easily living in a London flat! Enjoy a private, furnished room with shared bathrooms, kitchen facilities, and socializing space. Live within walking distance of the Holloway campus, close to the Tube stop and numerous bus lines. Past ISEP students have most frequently lived in the Arcade.
DINE
Pubs, coffee shops, restaurants, and even McDonald’s offer an easy place to grab a meal nearby. While in London, be sure to try the diverse food choices—delicious curries, peri peri chicken, vegetarian specialties, fish and chips, and classic high tea. With multiple supermarkets nearby, it’s easy to grab groceries and prepare a quick meal with friends in your flat. Plan to spend between 50 and 70 GBP on food each week.
EXPERIENCE
With Wi-Fi, pool tables, and board games, London Met’s “The Rocket” is an ideal spot for studying and hanging out with friends. It has a fantastic outdoor courtyard and venue space, which is perfect for relaxing between and after lectures. Be sure to stop by for quiz nights, karaoke, and happy hours. For deeper conversation, join the monthly Critical Conversation Cafes, hosted by the Center for Equity and Inclusion, which offer a place for debate, reflection and awareness.
EXPLORE
London’s airports offer low-cost flights throughout the U.K. and Europe, so weekend trips to popular spots like Spain and Italy are accessible and affordable. Closer to campus, London offers endless free activities and sightseeing. Plus, there’s always theatre, live music, and sporting events for something different.
THRIVE
Melt away stress and focus on your health at the campus gym, in fitness and wellness classes, or as part of a sports team. Fitness classes, including yoga, Pilates, and boxing, are free for students. Counselling services, disability and dyslexia support, and career advice are available for all students. Student-run clinics even over pro bono legal advice and rehab for sports injuries, and the Student Union offers “The Advice Service” for extra support and guidance. As an ISEP student, you’ll also receive assistance from the International Support Team, a full-time staff on campus dedicated to supporting you.
EXTERNSHIP
Gain insight into your future career field during a 6-week, 70-hour, credit bearing professional experience.

A concurrent class provides opportunities for group work, preparation, and reflection on the experience. (Additional fee required, please see details below.)
