Internships While in London

To participate in an internship in London, you must have completed and submitted the Internship Request Form on your OrangeAbroad application. Because special visas are required per UK immigration, places for internships are strictly limited and deadlines firm. The deadline to be considered for Spring 2024 was October 2. 

Students who have NOT met the above requirements, even if they have arranged for a US-based internship with a Main Campus sponsor, MAY NOT PARTICIPATE in an internship while studying in London. 

Students with questions regarding internships or concerns about scheduling around them should contact Charlie Loynes, London Internship Program Manager.
