Spring 2012
Program Description
Loyola Marymount University's London Program offers students a wonderful opportunity to live, study, and work in London. Faculty from LMU and noted faculty from Oxford, Cambridge and other major universities in Britain, teach a wide variety of academic courses. The internship and courses are facilitated by the Foundation for International Education. FIE offers guest lectures by London-based experts in the fields of politics, business and the arts. Additionally, students can participate in cocurricular activities. By the end of the program, students should become more mature and aware global citizens.
Location
London, one of the great cities of the world, offers a thriving multicultural environment with cutting-edge music, art, and fashion. London -- and the whole of England -- is experiencing rapid and exciting changes in its identity and in its relationship with Europe and the rest of the world. Politically and economically, it is a fascinating time to be in England.
Internship
An international internship through FIE is a pre-professional, field-based experience coupled with academic analysis and reflection. It is an educational experience whose goals are to develop professional and cultural skills and to provide personal and career awareness. London offers a vast resource for experience-based learning. The work environments available to FIE interns cater to almost every academic major and include the various business sectors, not-for-profit, political, public sector and creative organizations. Internships last seven weeks and begin after the semester break.
*Internship placement is not guaranteed for the Spring 2012 semester.
