London

Term: Summer 
Dates: TBA

Description: More likely than not, one can identify London in a single glance. Home to famous sites such as: Big Ben, Parliament, the London Eye, double-decker buses, red phone booths, Piccadilly Circus, and Buckingham Palace, it is not a place easily mistaken for any other. London is the capital and largest urban area of England and the United Kingdom. It is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world with nearly 30 percent of the population coming from outside the UK. With its cultural diversity and recognition as one of the world's major centers for business and commerce, as well as other leading industries such as music, fashion, and fine arts, it is no surprise that internships in London are high in demand.

Highlights: As the capital city of England, London is one of the world's most remarkable and exciting cities. This vibrant metropolis embraces the diverse cultures of its population, reflected through cuisine, shops, music and colorful festivals.

"I love my internship. It is great! I am writing and producing scripts. The people I work with are amazing - they make me feel like I am a part of the team. They even let me join their softball team! London is amazing!" - Kim Zavon
