Core Phase: The First Six Weeks
Students take one core course in their academic area to prepare for their internship, and one elective course. Each student also meets with the program’s internship advisors to finalize their placement details. Students are pre-placed in their internship, according to ability, professional goals, experience, and work habits.

Placement Phase: The Final Six Weeks
Students participate in an internship and work full-time, five days a week. During this phase, students work on the academic component of the internship and produce a placement portfolio comprised of daily reports, field research, and analysis.

Due to a stringent security clearance required by the British government, any student interested in being considered for an internship with a member of Parliament during the Summer London Internship Program is encouraged to apply to the program by January 20.  Once you are accepted to the program, you will be given further instructions as to how to proceed.  This early deadline only applies to students interested in an internship specifically with Parliament for the summer semester only and NOT to all students applying to the London Internship Program.
