Program Overview
Students may intern for 8 weeks at various points throughout the year. Internship placement is available in a variety of fields, including arts, business and marketing, communications, film & tv, IT and computer science, performing arts, political science, and psychology. Because English is the native language in the United Kingdom, our partner is confident that placements for most majors can be accommodated. Prior to your placement, you will do a brief interview to describe your goals and objectives.

Scholarship
Students are encouraged to check with their individual college and department to see if scholarships for study abroad may be available. Please also view our
scholarship page on the website for additional funding opportunities.
Financial Aid
Students eligible for federal or state financial aid may use their awards for studying abroad. After a student has been accepted to the program, they must complete required paperwork with
WMU Financial Aid to apply financial aid to the program costs. It is the student's responsibility to complete the paperwork prior to departure and to maintain compliance with financial aid regulations while studying abroad (i.e., remain enrolled full-time). *Non-WMU students must apply for financial aid through their home university.
Note: Disbursement of financial aid may not coincide with the start date of the program abroad, so plan ahead! Some out-of-pocket costs may occur prior to receiving financial aid for the semester, such as the program commitment fee, passport, airfare, immunizations, visa or residence permit fees (if applicable). These costs vary by program and WMU Study Abroad specialists are available to answer questions about the program budget.
