London Program Manual

London Program Manual

London Program Manual Congratulations on your decision to participate in Pepperdine University’s London Program! This program manual contains information specific to the London Program. You have also been given the International Programs’ Student Handbook with information, rules and regulations for all International Program participants. We expect you to read all information provided in both handbooks carefully. This program manual provides you with the most updated information and advice available at the time of printing. Changes may occur before your departure or while you are abroad. Your flexibility and willingness to adjust to these changes as they occur will help you in having the best study-abroad experience possible. Our handbooks are revised annually by International Programs in Malibu. Your comments and suggestions for next year’s handbook are welcome. Please direct them to the International Programs Department in Malibu. One of the best ways to prepare for study abroad is to learn as much as possible prior to departure about your program’s host country as well as the countries you will visit. Please visit the International Programs website, talk with faculty and program alumni, visit the suggested websites included in this program manual, and consult books about the area. Your flexibility in adjusting to unanticipated situations and cultural differences will determine, in great part, the kind of experience you will have while abroad. We wish you a successful and rewarding study-abroad experience! 1 (Version Update: 07.21.15) Introduction
