You will make meaningful contributions to companies, build strong professional contacts and explore full-time career opportunities.

Note: We will offer internship support in London, but we can’t guarantee internships as they are subject to prevailing labour laws in London.

In addition, the internship* provides an opportunity to build a strong network of professional contacts, which can be beneficial when seeking full-time career opportunities after graduation.

Note: Our Career Services Office will provide assistance in securing internships, which may potentially lead to full-time employment opportunities.
