Program Overview

Summer Academics

There are three courses of study that students can participate in during the summer with FIE! Choose the option that works best for your academic and career goals.

• London Summer Study & Internship
  • Take classes and gain intercultural experience through an internship in one of the most vibrant cities in the world! An international internship provides an opportunity to experience working life in another country and challenges pre-conceived notions of cultures and of the professional world. Take FIE's Key Course, British Life and Cultures, as well as the International Internship Course (IIC). You will begin your internship about a week into the program, splitting each week evenly between class work and placement time. See internship placement areas listed in semester academics above. Available for both Summer Session I & II.
• Pages, Stages, Scenes, and Screens: British Culture from Shakespeare to Modern Media
  • This 5-week summer program explores British culture from Shakespearean times until modern day! Use London as your classroom during co-curricular activities around the city to historical and cultural sites such as Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, or Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. There are three courses offered to students on the Pages, Stages, Scenes, and Screens program: British Life and Visual Media, Photojournalism: London through the Lens, and Shakespeare and Elizabethan Literature. The students will take 2 of these 3 courses and are asked to list them in order of preference on application. It may be that not all three courses run; hence, courses are determined by student preference

London Summer Study & Internship

The FIE London Summer Internship program is an academic program that includes the FIE Key Course, British Life and Culture, and the International Internship Course. These courses serve as the anchor of the program, offering students an opportunity to place what they are learning in their internship into a larger, contemporary context.

In addition to the traditional classroom experience, learning is supplemented with guest speakers and guided visits to places of both historical and contemporary significance.

FIE's unpaid internship placements, together with classroom seminars and written reflection, form the International Internship Course, or IIC. The IIC seminars allow for discussion, analysis and academic reflection throughout the student's placement experience. Students are assessed on their ability to engage analytically with the internship experience, and are required to compile a portfolio, deliver a presentation and write a final report.

Internship Placement Areas:

• Business & Entrepreneurship 
• Communications & Journalism
• Education
• Environment & Sustainability
• Entertainment & Performing Arts
• Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle
• Finance & Accountancy
• Historical & Cultural Organizations
• Technology & Design
• Legal & Justice Organizations
• Politics
• Public Health & Wellbeing
• Social Welfare & Non-Profit Organizations
