Orientation Week
Before the start of the academic year, students participate
in a one week orientation. This essential preparatory session includes
introductory academic sessions, familiarisation with the Institute's and
London's academic resources and an introduction to the cultural attractions of
the city.
During the orientation period students have the opportunity
to meet informally with the Institute's faculty and staff and to become
familiar with London. Course participants also participate in organised
tours and social activities. In 2007, the students participated in an excursion
to Canterbury, a tour of London as well as guided tours of the British Museum
and British Library.
