Internships
A spring internship in London can provide a different perspective on workplace practices while you develop professional skills. An overview of working in the United Kingdom is part of a course that presents Britain's changing organizational work structures. In the course, you'll examine the current social and economic changes in the UK workplace. Topics include trade unions, oppression at work, employment discrimination, and generational changes at work. Past internship placements have been at economic think tanks, trend analysis agencies, software development consulting firms, investment lending firms, or international women's rights NGOs – but these are only examples. Your specific internship placement will be unique to you.
