LONDON INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:

Academics

Your academic program is determined by your home university – but it will always include a significant classroom based component and regular written work.

In many cases you may also undertake independent research, such as compiling a journal and portfolio of work to support your internship experience, along with seminars designed to help you understand the culture or industry in which you are working. Some programs may have full semester courses in history, politics, or literature with a workload equivalent to your home campus – these may be taught by faculty from your own college or by local faculty. Most of the local faculty members are accustomed to working with American students, but will still bring a more British style of teaching.  Because European students tend to specialize in one subject very early in the college careers, typically this means that you are expected to take the initiative in learning and go beyond the required texts to develop a deeper understanding of the subject.
