England: London Business Enclave -
Internships
Internship (6 credit hours; required)
Impress future employers with professional experience
gained in London! The Internship experience is a central
part of the London Enclave program and is a requirement
for students. Based on your academic interests and
career goals, students will be placed in an internship
connected to the business field. Throughout the semester,
students assess their work experiences as they unfold,
including the cultural differences between the British
and American workplace that you may encounter. Students
are expected to submit a written report on their internship
experience at the end of the semester.
The Internship provides students an excellent opportunity
to obtain work experience in a student's area of interest
and explore the professional aspect of another culture.
Upon acceptance to the program, students provide information
on their background, experience and areas of interest
for an internship placement. With this information,
onsite staff work to provide an internship placement
that fits as closely as possible to the student's
stated interests and background. Although an internship
is a guaranteed element of the program, students must
have some flexibility in the type of internship placement
received; no guarantees can be provided for a specific
kind of internship.
Details on a student's potential internship placement
are provided during the first part of the semester
in London. In the first part of the semester, students
will have an orientation, meet for intensive course
work and have internship interviews. In the second
part of the semester, upon finalizing the internship
placement after the interview, students will then
intern during normal working hours for most of the
week and continue to take classes for the remainder
of the week.
Please note that the internship is handled through
the Study Abroad program and is not done in conjunction
with the Kogod Internship program.
