Description: SRAS Internships combine language training with real work experience. Most interns will find that their tasks will take advantage of their command of their native language: translating; editing; writing; and communicating with English-speaking contacts are common assignments. At the same time, the work environment is Russian, giving ample opportunity to learn the language of the industry.

SRAS offers two types of internships. Our work study programs offer living stipends and discounted tuition. Custom placements are unpaid positions, but offer the student the ability to chose from much wider range of professional fields. Custom placements are an add-on to a study abroad program, not a stand alone option.

While there is logically a higher concentration of opportunities in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and major CIS cities like Bishkek, SRAS can find placements nearly anywhere it currently offers academic programs.

Qualifications: An SRAS representative will work with you to determine how best to formulate and integrate the internship and academic components to best serve your individual goals and needs. SRAS will also follow up to ensure that the placement is working out for both you and your host and help create English-language documentation of the internship (including letters of reference and translating where needed).

Each internship is individually crafted to the student. SRAS has a more than 99% placement rate for students who have indicated they want to intern in NGOs, law firms, museums, media outlets, or other businesses.
