For the Year Abroad we have links with leading universities in Spain and Latin America.

Czech is a Slavonic language, largely mutually comprehensible with Slovak and spoken by approximately 11 million native speakers. Studying Czech at SSEES (UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies) provides an excellent opportunity to gain excellent language skills, in small class sizes and a profound knowledge of Czech literature, history and culture that will prepare you for a wide variety of careers in Europe.
