The Global Cities Program has been cancelled for Summer 2021


Maximize Your Summer!

The Global Cities Program is a unique collaboration between partner universities abroad and UCLA. It offers a comparative perspective through coursework and social events that highlights the creativity, economics, social-political and cultural background of the host cities. It provides the opportunity to enjoy a unique academic and cultural experience that combines credit-bearing courses with special events.

This joint program is comprised of two consecutive sessions. For the first 4-5 weeks, you will join a group of local students at the host university. For the last 6 weeks, the same cohort of students come to UCLA to attend Summer Session C.

Choose from one of the following destinations:

Amsterdam

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam)

Barcelona

Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)

Milan

Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC)
