Application for London Internship
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 MSP 4785 or FMA 3085 for 4 s.h., or Journalism 3885, Advertising 3185, STRC 3385 – Internship in Public Communication, STRC 3585 – Internship in Public Relations, STRC 3685 – Internship in Organizational Leadership, or Theater 3082 for 3 s.h. (see course list). Enrollment is subject to the availability of openings. A student can look for an internship on her/his own, however, we ask that students do not approach those employers who take London program interns. If this is something you are interested in doing, please contact SMC Study Away as soon as possible, preferably before submitting your application.
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 MSP or FMA majors, should be aware that they cannot take MSP 4785 or FMA 3085 again in Philadelphia. They can take MSP 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. If any of these explanations are unclear students should check with the SMC Academic Advising office as well as their departmental internship office for further clarification.
Temple students from other Schools and Colleges and non-Temple students should check with their home school to determine if internship credit will be transferable.
Please list, one per line, each course and grade for communications classes you have taken.
Eg. Journalism 101 -- A
Preferred type of internship
In priority order, be sure to fill out all three fields.
A resume of relevant experience must be submitted with this application. PDF format preferred.
Course Registration
Please view the available courses for the semester that you plan to study in London here: http://smc.temple.edu/studyaway/london/courses/
All students must be registered for a minimum of 12 credits and anything over 17 credits is subject to additional fees, as is the case on Main Campus.
Your course selections here are only tentative and you are encouraged to make an appointment with an academic advisor (in Room 9 in Annenberg Hall, for SMC students) to discuss your London courses as well as the courses you need to take upon your return to Main Campus. If you need to make changes to the courses you selected here, you will have the opportunity to do so after you have been accepted to the program.
For more information on the Global/World Society (GG) Gen Ed, visit the undergraduate bulletin page here (very bottom of the page): http://www.temple.edu/bulletin/academic_programs/general_education/global_society.shtm
Most courses in London are cross-listed among multiple departments in order to allow flexibility for registration. No matter which course number you select for a specific course, all students are enrolled in that course together and will have the same course requirements. Some courses will have different numbers of credits assigned to the same course, so pay careful attention to that when selecting your courses.
JOURN 3882 is offered for variable credit (1-3 credits) so if you select this section you will also need to select the number of credits you wish to register for within that section. The requirements for the course are exactly the same regardless of the number of credits you select.
Theater 3082 is offered for variable credit (1-3 credits) so if you select this section you will also need to select the number of credits you wish to register for within that section. The requirements for the course are exactly the same regardless of the number of credits you select.
This course is taught by the faculty director on the London program and all students are required to enroll in this course.
COMM 3081 is offered for variable credit (1-4 credits) so if you select this section you will also need to select the number of credits you wish to register for within that section. The requirements for the course are exactly the same regardless of the number of credits you select.
