UC San Diego Global Seminars: London - Old Europe, New Europe: Revelle in London

London is truly a global city, and among its eight million residents are represented peoples and cultures from around the world. The city has long had a vibrant and influential cultural scene and contains some of the world’s greatest museums and recognizable monuments. London offers remarkable cultural encounters and unique experiences down virtually every street, and ease of access thanks to its famed transit system. These are all reasons why London remains one of the most popular destinations for study abroad. The city boasts an overwhelming number of cultural and historic attractions to which this five-week UC San Diego Global Seminar presents an intensive introduction. This program highlights the time of the Renaissance and well as the continuing vitality of British history and culture in the modern world. London offers endless opportunity for inquiry and admiration; as celebrated British author Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) observed: “…when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
