INTERNSHIPS IN LONDON

Students on the Grinnell-in-London may apply for a Phase II internship. Upon being accepted into the program, students work with our London internship coordinator to secure a position in the field of their choosing. 15 internships are available each fall, including three parliamentary internships. Application to the internship program is competitive. The internships are 4 credits. In addition to the internship, interns are required to take a complimentary 2 credit course. Parliamentary interns take the course titled 'The British Parliament'. Non-parliamentary interns take 'Understanding Work in the UK'. Interns are provided with access to the Senate House Library.
