London is unrivaled for the excellence and diversity of its theatres, concert halls, museums, and art galleries. Although London is a large cosmopolitan metropolis, it is surprisingly easy to settle into, get around, and get to know, thanks to an exceptional public transportation system. All of these elements combine to make London a perfect location for the University of Richmond Summer Internship Program. Our agency in London has been placing students in internships in major political, financial, cultural and historic institutions for many years. In addition to the following major areas, placements are available in virtually all major fields.
Placements are available in many business fields in a variety of British and multinational firms.
The credit may be in the form of an Internship or Independent Study, depending on the arrangement made between the student and the faculty member. All participants are required to write an analytic journal documenting their experience. Additional work, developed with the cooperating faculty member, will be formalized in a learning contract. The Office of International Education will have a list of faculty who have agreed to participate in this program. The first few days of the program are devoted to orientation.
