2004 Students attending a lecture at INSEAD.
About the Program
HuronÁs new campus, opened in January 2004, lies beside one of the cityÁs oldest and largest garden squares ĺ Russell Square ĺ in the middle of the Bloomsbury district of London. For centuries Bloomsbury has been at the academic and literary heart of central London.
The campus consists of two large Victorian buildings that have been full refurbished and configured to provide an extensive and state-of-the-art educational facility not normally found in small universities. The classrooms have an extensive range of the latest multimedia learning tools, and the buildings boast the latest IT and computing facilities including wireless technology. Some pictures of the classrooms and IT suite can be found here.
Huron students also have full access to the Senate House Library, one of the largest academic libraries in London and only a two minutes walk from the main campus buildings.
Home to the oldest and largest concentration of universities in London, Bloomsbury hosts some of the most extensive and diverse university libraries and educational facilities in the world. Huron students have access to many of them. BloomsburyÁs associations are not only academic ones. As one of LondonÁs major cultural quarters it has been the home of the British Museum for 250 years. The British Museum hosts the UKÁs greatest collection of art and antiquities from ancient and living cultures and is home to the spectacular Great Court and magnificent reference library and study spaces of the Reading Room. This is where Karl Marx wrote ËDas KapitalÓ and Oscar Wilde worked on his plays. Other famous patrons of the library include Arthur Conan Doyle (the author of Sherlock Holmes), Bram Stoker (the author of Dracula) and Lenin. A short stroll from Bloomsbury is the British Library, the national library of the United Kingdom.
