USAC students will join London Met students from a variety of disciplines, and they will be
taught by 9 different lecturers. This is truly an interdisciplinary module. During the spring term,
the students will engage in a community-based placement. Over the course of two semesters,
students will earn 15 U.K. credits (3 U.S. credits) total (not 3 credits for each term).
