Internships offer an excellent way of experiencing the professional, working life of London from the inside. Internships provide interaction and hands-on experience with the host culture, as well as direct professional experience related to your academic studies and long-term career goals.
The Syracuse London Internship Program places students into local, national, and international organizations in a wide variety of sectors. Students work part-time in exchange for professional mentorship and academic credit. Our class on “The Global Workplace” provides a custom framework to reflect on your learning and actively engage with social and ethical issues you may encounter in your professional life.
Choosing to do an internship is a big commitment, and the process for securing an internship is complex, so it is vital that you understand all the requirements before applying. Meet with an Advisor to learn more about internship opportunities in London.
Becoming a Londoner through an Internship
During my time in London, I interned at Matter Of Form, a luxury brand, design and eCommerce agency. The agency worked for clients such as, Breitling, Knight Frank and Estée Lauder. Having an internship abroad taught me about a global workplace. I was able to develop as a professional while also learning how offices in London differed from that of the U.S. The contacts and skills I gained have given me further insight into the career I wish to pursue after graduation.
