ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
The Department of English and Creative Writing offers a foreign study program at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). Queen Mary is a highly prestigious university that boasts one of the world's finest and most innovative English departments. Students will study with leading scholars and writers on QMUL's vibrant East End campus a short train ride away from the center of London. Students will take three classes in the Department of English and Drama (which also houses the creative writing program), supplemented by a weekly seminar with the Dartmouth faculty director and an independent project.
Students on the English FSP enroll in English 90, 91, and 92. English 90 and 91 carry major and minor credit; English 92 does not, although it does carry college course credit. No FSP course may be used to satisfy the Culminating Experience requirement in any major.
Enrollment Information
About 18 students are selected for the program. Committed students will also submit an application to the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).

Financing Your Program
Tuition and Fees
The fees charged by the College for a Dartmouth-sponsored off-campus term of study include regular tuition charges for a term at Dartmouth, service fees, as well as the specific costs established for each off-campus study locale. In many programs, the room and board costs tend to be higher than for a term in Hanover. You can view a budget sheet for each program by clicking on the appropriate term under "Financing Your Program". The cost of transportation to and from the site is the responsibility of the student.
Financial Aid
In order that all qualified Dartmouth undergraduate students may have the opportunity to take part in off-campus programs, the College endeavors to adjust its normal financial aid awards for students already receiving aid. Tuition and expected family contribution for Dartmouth's off-campus programs are the same as for an on-campus term.
Students are responsible for purchasing their own plane tickets and, in many cases, meals. Often, families find that they owe less for billable items for study away terms but will instead use more of their expected family contribution towards indirect costs such as the flight and meals. For help sorting out who pays what and how, contacting the Financial Aid office is often advisable.
