London Internship Program

 The Williams School coordinates Washington and Lee's eight-week program that combines classroom study and internships with firms in and around London. Students are matched with businesses and not-for-profits based upon their professional interests. In addition to the internship and classes, students have opportunities to network with Washington and Lee alumni who work in several industries.

2024 London Internship Program

The W&L London Internship Program is designed for rising juniors and seniors. Participating students will arrive on June 4th and depart on July 28th. The program includes two W&L classes- POL 285, Contemporary Britain, and INTR 453, International Internship- for a total of six credits.
