Description: The London Internship Program offers a semester of study and work in England's exciting capital city. This program combines a professional internship with coursework that examines a particular academic area in the context of Great Britain's history, culture and society, and its role in modern Europe. Courses in each academic area are taught by selected British faculty exclusively to students enrolled in the Boston University program. Upon successful completion of a semester, students earn 16 Boston University credits.

Highlights: The First Five Weeks (Core Phase)
Students take one core course in their academic area to prepare for the internship experience and one free elective course. Each student also meets with the program's internship advisors to refine his or her area of work placement according to ability, professional goals, experience, and work habits.

The Final Eight Weeks (Internship Phase)
Students participate in London's local work life through assigned internships that complement their particular academic concentration and personal goals. Students work full-time, four days a week, while also enrolling in a related, weekly seminar course.

Degree Level: Bachelors Degree (Undergraduate)
