Home » London Spring Program Application Page
Students interested in an internship through the London Program should fill out this page and submit a resume of relevant experience. Internships will be on an unpaid basis for two days of work per week. They will be professionally relevant, at an American or British organization in London. Selection for the intern program will enable a student to register for BTMM 4785 or FMA 3085 for 4 s.h., or Journalism 3885 or Theater 3082 for 3 s.h. (see course list). Enrollment is subject to the availability of openings. If a student is not able to be placed by the Temple program, she or he can look for an internship on her/his own and integrate that internship into a Special Projects course in Journalism or Theater for 1-3 s.h. (see course list). We ask that students do not approach those employers who take London program interns.
Students should be aware that BBC or Independent television and radio internships are not available. Nor are placements in English newspapers or magazines. Unions strictly control the communications industry in England. Theater students should be aware that there is no likelihood that they will have an internship involved in anything backstage – again, for reasons of unionization. “Front office” work of an administrative or PR nature is all we offer in British theaters. Please accept this as an accurate description of the limits of our internship program. Should you hear about an exception to the above, please realize that that is what it is – an exception.
Temple students who are Journalism majors should be aware that they can only take 3 credits of Journalism 3885. Temple students, who are BTMM or FMA majors, should be aware that they cannot take BTMM 4785 or FMA 3085 again in Philadelphia. They can take BTMM 4682 or FMA 4282. Only six semester hours of intern, extern, or co-op type study can be used toward the 124-126 semester hours needed for graduation.
Non-Temple students should check with their home school to determine if internship credit will be transferable.
