Program Structure
You'll enroll in 1 internship seminar course that includes an academic seminar and an internship placement, and 2-3 liberal arts/social sciences courses at the CEA London Center. You may also choose to enroll in an elective course at LSBU.
Your internship seminar meets for 30 seminar hours and you'll spend a minimum of 160 hours at your internship placement. Please note, while 160 placement hours are the minimum required to earn academic credit, UK employers expect students to work an average of 15-20 hours per week, which amounts to 180-240 placement hours over the course of the semester. Together, your seminar and internship placement are worth 4 credits. CEA courses meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits. Courses at LSBU are worth 4 credits. You may earn up to 17 credits (up to 255 contact hours).
CEA courses may meet 1-2 days per week. LSBU courses typically meet once a week. Classes at both locations are typically held Monday - Friday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled outside of your normal class time throughout the week.
Your internship placement hours may take place Monday-Friday; the exact time of day and days of the week will be determined after you arrive. Your work schedule will be structured with limited flexibility.
We strongly recommend that you apply as soon as possible. Internship positions are both limited in availability and competitive; employers give priority to those who submit early!
The majority of internships require a Skype or in-person interview with the employer before placement is confirmed. All placements will be confirmed upon arrival and will each have their own set of internship guidelines for the position. We'll do our best, but we can't guarantee placement at a particular site.
Prior to departure you will select your preferred courses. You will be enrolled in courses based on their availability. Partner institution (LSBU) course lists and schedules are not finalized until you’re in London. As such, final course registration takes place on-site. It is critical to understand course availability is subject to change and courses are not guaranteed. It is in your best interest to get several course alternates approved by your home university prior to your departure date. This will give you flexibility during registration. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
