The USC Marshall School of Business has partnered with EUSA to provide students access to the internship opportunities in London, as well as arrange housing and provide support while the student is in the UK. Students will intern with a firm personally selected based on their interests, background and experience, as well as the needs and requirements of the company. London is a dynamic, fast-paced world business center.
To meet the needs of our students, as well provide the optimal experience, we have developed two partnerships for London: an 8-week internship program for students with a more developed academic background (so students who have completed at least 50 units of course work), and an 8-week program which provides a 4-week course to help introduce less experienced students to global business, followed by a 4-week internship. This program is ideally suited for students who are just starting their business academic careers, as it allows them to gradually learn about cultural and differences in the office, before proceeding to their work assignment. The program will require students to enroll in a non-credited course (you will NOT receive USC credit for this course) held Monday-Friday for the first 4-weeks of the program. Upon successful completion of the course, students will then begin their internship, also Monday-Friday but for the final 4-weeks, ensuring student with 160 classroom and internship hours as part of the 8-week program. (Students who have completed more that 48 credits may apply to this program, or visit this link to learn more about the London Advanced program).

INTERNSHIP PLACEMENTS: (SUMMER 2025)
As a world and European business capital, London attracts businesses from every conceivable sector, including financial services, entertainment, hospitality, media and retail. For students interested in broadening their understanding of international business, there is no better city in which to study or work.
Participants will have access to research internship opportunities spanning a wide variety of businesses in a wide range of industry sectors in London. From small tech start-ups to medium-sized corporations, appropriate placements are available based on the skills, interests and professional goals of the student and the project needs and work cycles of the internship sponsors.
All internships are unpaid.

Please note: The internship placements are made by EUSA , and are based on the position and duties you wish to complete (as expressed in your internship essay and interview) during your internship, as well as your experience and skills, and the needs and requirements of the company you will be placed with. Students without a finance background, for example, should not expect to be placed in a finance role. In addition, sometimes smaller companies offer opportunities that are more in line with the student interests than larger companies. The goal of the program is to provide students with a quality learning experience, not necessarily for students to work for the biggest company.
