Internships and volunteering

All students intending to do an internship or to volunteer must have a Tier 4 PBS visa. See visas for study abroad students for more information.

Internships

The Career Development and Employment Service coordinates Internship placements for Study Abroad students. Please note that there is a fee for this service.

We usually expect students to count the internship as one of their 4 modules of study, as most students are working towards internship credit at their home university.

Students are expected to complete 1-2 days each week at the internship site and undertaking this as a 5th module is a heavy workload.
