IU administers an academic year program at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England where students are directly enrolled at a British university and take classes with British students. The University of Kent is situated about one hour southeast of London in the midst of a famous cathedral city and picturesque village. The academic year program in Kent is designed for students to pursue their major or minor area(s) of study. For instance, just some of the courses (called modules at Kent) that past Communication & Culture students have taken for credit are: European Cinema, Avant-Garde & Experimental Cinema, British Cinema since 1950s, Storytelling & the Cinema, Film & Television Adaptation, and Popular Culture, Media & Society.
A full listing of Kent’s courses can be found in the Catalog of Modules (for short-term students) at http://www.kent.ac.uk/studying/short-term/print.html.
