You are also required to obtain your own passport. Passports are required for travel to England and are the responsibility of each student to obtain. No visa is required for travel to England.

While in London, you must also carry a letter that you are a Wake Forest University student on a study abroad program. The International Graduate Programs office will provide these letters for you before your departure.

Traveling to & from London

You are responsible for travel to and from London on schedule. You should begin to plan your flights and itinerary early (in February or March). Students in the summer program often coordinate their travel arrangements.There are many available flights between the United States and London.  Both London airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, are easily accessible by public transportation to central London and then on to Worrell House.  You should make flight arrangements when you are enrolled in the program.  The address of Worrell House may be found in the contact information for London.
