Program Overview

FIE in London offers CCIS students two exciting summer options: an 8-week Study and Internship program, or a 5 ½-week study program with coursework options in British culture, English literature and photojournalism.

Summer Internship Program

The FIE London Summer Internship program is the perfect way to boost your resume with an international work experience. The program provides students with an opportunity to intern at a small-to-medium British organization, while pursuing coursework for academic credit. It is an educational experience whose goals are to develop professional and cultural skills and provide personal and career awareness. Students take two courses taught by FIE: British Life and Cultures, and the International Internship Course, along with a part-time internship at a small to mid-size British company or non-profit. You’ll be busy every day, with the program structured such that you spend 2.5 days taking classes and 2.5 days at your internship placement.

Pages, Stages, Scenes and Screens: British Culture From Shakespeare to Visual Media

The Pages, Stages, Scenes and Screens study only program gives students the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Shakespeare (and Dumbledore) as they explore British culture from way-back-when to modern day. With London as the star of the show, students will trade in a traditional four-walled classroom for excursions to historical and cultural sites such as the Globe Theatre, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.
You choose two of the following three courses, all of which include field trips and co-curricular activities designed to get you of the classroom and into the thriving metropolis of London: British Life and Visual Media; Shakespeare and Elizabethan Literature; Photojournalism: London Through the Lens.

Academics & Program

There are two programs 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
• Pages, Stages, Scenes, and Screens: British Culture from Shakespeare to Modern Media

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
