Lab & Field Trip Fees
Please review syllabi and course materials when registering for direct-enroll classes. Certain classes may have a one-off lab or field trip fee disclosed in the syllabus or during the first meeting of the class. These fees are not included in your 91制片厂 program fee. You will be responsible for these fees, whether they are billed and paid by 91制片厂 or billed to you.

New country, new way of learning!

Here鈥檚 what to expect at the University of the Arts London:

  • More emphasis on independent learning. The university recommends completing 10 hours of independent study for each academic credit you seek.
  • More advanced instruction and work than you鈥檇 find in a class at the same level in the United States. Because most English university degrees are three-year programs, students gain specialized knowledge faster here.
  • Less personal access to professors. Instead, it鈥檚 common to connect with more junior faculty members.
  • Grades are often based on a single final exam or final paper, or on just a few assignments.
  • Choose classes from one department to avoid scheduling conflicts. Local students usually specialize in one department for classes, which means different departments don鈥檛 schedule classes with other departments in mind.
  • Full access to the university鈥檚 robust academic support system and resources, including an assigned advisor for academic support. 91制片厂 local staff are also available for individual help.
