Program Structure
You'll enroll in 1 internship seminar course that includes an academic seminar and an internship placement, and 2-3 elective courses at LSBU. Please note that at least 2 courses have to be from the same school. The academic structure below lists a small sample of the hundreds of courses available. You will have access to introductory, intermediate and advanced courses in a variety of subject areas. See below for information how to access LSBU’s Course (Module) Directory for a full list of courses.
Your internship seminar meets for 30 seminar hours and you'll spend a minimum of 130 hours at your internship placement. Please note, while 130 placement hours are the minimum required to earn academic credit, UK employers expect students to work an average of 12-15 hours per week, which amounts to 130-320 placement hours over the course of the semester. Together, your seminar and internship placement are worth 4 credits. Courses at LSBU are worth 4 credits. You may earn 16 credits (up to 240 contact hours).
LSBU courses typically meet once a week. Classes 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 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 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 video or in-person interview with the employer before placement is confirmed. For students who speak English as a second language, there will be one additional interview to assess English language fluency. 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 and enroll based on course availability. LSBU course lists and schedules are not finalized until you’re in London. As such, final course registration takes place onsite. 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.
Please be aware that the university final exam period runs past the CEA program dates. Therefore, it is your responsibility to arrange an alternate due date or assessment, if necessary, with your instructor. We recommend speaking about this with your instructor before the end of the add/drop period onsite.
