Description

The UK government recently introduced the first phase of a complete overhaul of their immigration system. The resulting regulations are designed to ensure that all overseas students coming into the UK are doing so legally and with the intention of studying for the majority of their time at a legitimate educational institution.

For students wishing to pursue an internship or work during their studies, internships or work must now be accompanied by an increased academic component and time commitment. Students must enroll in academic courses of study for at least 50% of the time they are in the UK and intern/work no more than 50% of their time.

The IES Abroad London Internship Program focuses on practical experience in the workplace as an invaluable addition to classroom learning as well as the cultivation of global leadership skills. An internship with IES Abroad London provides vital insights into a career field, experience in the global workplace, practical exposure to the demands of specific jobs, and development of professional and personal skills. As well as developing your personal CV (résumé), an internship affords you the opportunity to directly experience the many cultures and people who make up the UK.

Internships are available in the following areas:
- Arts & Museums
- Business
- Education
- Media
- Politics
- Theater

Highlights

* Enroll in an internship seminar and the core course Leadership & Organizations: Cultural and Community Contexts for a total of 6 credits.
* Live in the IES Abroad London Residence Hall or a homestay.

You will spend two to four full days per week working at your internship placement, and academic courses will be held over the remaining week days. You will earn grades on your IES Abroad transcripts for both the Internship Seminar and the Leadership course.

This program focuses on practical experience in the workplace as an invaluable addition to the classroom learning, and runs for 7 weeks for 6 total credits.
