The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point provides extraordinary study programs to those wishing an education beyond the bounds of the classroom or campus. Since 1969, both the Spring and the Fall Britain programs have allowed students to experience Europe, Britain, and especially London -- now we add to this special opportunity for eligible students to do their externship/internship abroad.

This program is for UWSP students of applied physics, arts management, business, communication, English, interior architecture, history, International studies, sociology, political science, theater & health promotion/wellness. Students of international studies, geography & peace studies should check with their respective department chairs as internships may be available for them too.

Application: A London Internship application packet is available in the International Programs Office, Room 108 Collins Classroom Center or by clicking here.  Permission required from your major/department Britain Internship Coordinator. Coordinator’s signature is required on the Internship application form. Students will be asked to attend an Informational / Selection meeting and schedule a final interview.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 1 for fall and April 1 for spring for guaranteed consideration. Summer internships are also available. Late applications are often taken; contact the International Programs Office for information on available spots.
