London: the world in one city

London is one of the world's most dynamic cities. The history, tradition and unique characteristics of this amazing city are obvious everywhere from the thousand year old Tower of London to the modern engineering technology that is the London Eye. London is a truly multicultural city with restaurants to suit every taste and people from all over the world making their home or just visiting. It is a delight to visit London to go shopping, visit the theatre or a selection of the many attractions such as Madame Tussauds; Buckingham Palace; Big Ben; the National Gallery and the British Museum to name but a few. A visit to London will be an experience you will enjoy for the rest of your life.

Studying at LIBT and Brunel University allows you to enjoy the social and cultural facilities that London has to offer. You will never run out of things to do! Being based in London allows you quick, day trips to the coast of Brighton, the castle at Windsor or the historical cities of Oxford and Cambridge. As the gateway to Europe, it is also possible to be in places such as Paris or Brussels by train in just two hours.

London's seasons change gradually and although the hottest time of the year is normally August, when the peak temperature can be 30 degrees C, the average high is about 22 degrees C with average lows being only 14 degrees. Snow has been a common and beautiful sight during the last couple of winters, so it might be a good idea to bring some extra boots, gloves, hats and scarves.

If you want to combine your studies with some professional experience, you could not be in a better city than London. London is the heart of the financial, commercial and creative sectors. Thousands of businesses in the London area welcome international students to take advantage of work placements and internship programmes. These opportunities give your academic background the practical advantage you will need when pursuing your future career.

The summer of 2012 will be an exciting time for students living in London. The city will be hosting the 2012 Olympic Games and the energy of the city will be fuelled by visitors and celebrities from all over the world. London needs 70,000 Londoners to assist in the many events and preparations for the Games. As an international student in London, you will be able to take advantage of these volunteer opportunities.

There are several other multicultural events occurring every year including the Notting Hill Carnival, Trafalgar Square Diwali celebrations, a Chinese New Year parade, London Fashion Show and many more. The city is an icon of tradition and international distinction, making London the perfect setting for scholars pursuing an education of academic excellence and diversity.
