The University of London Institute in Paris (abbreviated ULIP) is a college of the University of London located in Paris. It is currently the only British University Institute in Continental Europe.[1] History[edit] The institute was established by an English woman, Edith Williams, in 1894[2] with the help of the then British Ambassador, Lord Dufferin.[1] It was originally known as the "Anglo-French Guild", which from 1894 offered classes in conversational English to French students soon to qualify as teachers of English through more theoretical studies.
In 1900, French classes were added, aimed at British students spending time in Paris, and thus a unique Franco-British community was created. In the same year, the Guild established itself in the rue de la Sorbonne, opposite the University of Paris. The British Institute left its Sorbonne link to become incorporated into the University of London in 1969.
The Dean of the Institute is Andrew Hussey. External links[edit] References[edit] LeapPad2 | The #1 Kids Learning Tablet just got better. Home | University of London International Programmes.
