Accepted students receive 3 credits and are expected to complete course requirements, written assignments, and on-site employee evaluation. Writing assignments include a preliminary proposal, mid-summer report, executive interview, and final report of the experience. Through reflective practice students apply various business concepts to real-world work situations. In addition to work experience, students are also building intercultural skills during this introduction to the world of international business.

Before leaving Saint Mary’s Campus students will receive their internship placements. Once students arrive in the United Kingdom, on-site program staff will orientate students to the city and provide additional mentorship.
