Want to go abroad? Learn about and experience the excitement of another country? Get the kind of international work experience that’s increasingly prized in today’s global economy? The Washington Center offers spring, summer and fall programs in London: Europe’s largest city, a business, financial and cultural center; and a major global crossroads.

The Intern Abroad program is structured much the same as The Washington Center’s D.C.-based programs, but with some differences to help you make the most of your time overseas. To create a solid foundation for your international experience, you’ll first attend a 10-day academic seminar in Washington, D.C. Once you’re abroad, you’ll complete the necessary coursework and attend weekly meetings of the Learning Through Internships workshop series. All students participate in the same program. Students interning abroad gain academic credit from their home institutions, just as they would in D.C.

Included in Each Program

• 10-day pre-departure seminar in Washington, D.C.
• 2½-day-a-week tailored internship
• Academic courses
• Programming that encompasses site visits, guest speakers, events, group travel and more
