The program officially ends mid-July. Students who have not completed their thesis by that time may choose to stay in England (highly recommended) at their own expense or return home to complete their thesis, which is due by the first Monday of September. In our experience, students who remain in London have a much easier time completing their thesis than those who return home to do so.
