Semester in London

The Semester In London (SIL) is one of a number of study-abroad opportunities available to UT students at The Law School. The SIL program began in the fall of 1987 as the student portion of a long-term exchange arrangement between the Law School of the University of Texas at Austin and the Faculty of Laws of Queen Mary, University of London (QM) (http://www.ccls.edu/about, http://www.ccls.edu/about/links.html).

In the fall of 1994, the program expanded to permit students to study at University College London (UCL) ( http://www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/, http://www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/prospective/international/sil/index.shtml ), which is also a college of the University of London.
