Summer London Internship Program | Boston University International Programs

Summer Semester:
May 18th to August 7th, 2010

The London Internship Program offers 12 weeks of study and work in England's fascinating, fast-paced, and sophisticated capital. Students participate in London's work life through pre-placed internships that complement their particular academic concentration and personal goals. Courses examine a particular academic area in the context of Great Britain's history, its culture and society, and its role within Europe.

Students enroll in two courses along with an internship. Courses are taught at the Boston University London Center in South Kensington by selected British faculty exclusively to students enrolled in the program. Upon successful completion of the program, students earn 12 Boston University credits.

The First Six Weeks (Core Phase)
Students take one core course in their academic area to prepare for their internship, and one elective course. Each student also meets with the program’s internship advisors to finalize their placement details. Students are pre-placed in their internship, according to ability, professional goals, experience, and work habits.

The Final Six Weeks (Placement Phase)
Students participate in an internship and work full-time, five days a week. During this phase, students work on the academic component of the internship by attending faculty-led internship tutorials and completing a series of assignments including daily reports, a placement project, and analysis of the organization.

Due to a stringent security clearance required by the British government, any student interested in being considered for an internship with a member of Parliament during the Summer London Internship Program is encouraged to apply to the program by January 15. Once you are accepted to the program, you will be given further instructions as to how to proceed. This early deadline only applies to students interested in an internship specifically with Parliament for the summer semester only and NOT to all students applying to the London Internship Program.
