London International Semester (LIS)

Richmond, the American International University in London

London, England

Spring Entry students have the opportunity to study abroad in London, England in their fall semester. At Richmond University, students can choose from hundreds of classes that will smoothly transfer to SMU! Students also can experience the historical and cultural treasures that surround the university, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and Kensington Palace.

Program Highlights:

• Select from Richmond courses that have been reviewed for transferability and degree applicability towards an SMU degree.
• Meet students from all over the world! Thirty percent of Richmond University’s population is from the United States and the other seventy percent come from the UK and other countries worldwide.
• Richmond students have access to discounted (and sometimes free) tickets for West End shows, sporting matches, London Fashion Week, comedy nights, music events and much more! There are also campus events that take place throughout the year.

LIS is a wonderful program for students interested in studying liberal arts and business studies. Students interested in taking business classes must complete the math placement exam. LIS is not available for students interested in STEM or pre-health tracks due to the lack of lab science classes available at Richmond.

Please note that financial aid and scholarships are not available for the LIS program. For more information on tuition and fees, please visit smu.edu/LISTuition.
