The Intern Abroad placement process differs from that of our programs in Washington, D.C. Once you have committed to the program, your application materials will be sent to the internship placement team abroad.

Your application will then be reviewed to determine which internship might be the best fit for you. Your Statement of Professional Interest will be of particular importance at this stage of the process.

Although The Washington Center charges a program fee and a housing fee for the D.C.-London Program, the more relevant consideration is your “net” cost of attendance (the total you will owe your institution and/or TWC). You may find that a semester or summer abroad through TWC is comparable in cost to what you’d pay for the same term on campus. To get a better idea of what you might pay, please feel free to download our London budgets or complete our Financial Aid Inquiry Form.
