Intern in Britain

The US-UK Fulbright Commission in London is now seeking applicants for our internship programme for spring 2018. 

This opportunity is a great fit for:

1. Study abroad students seeking to gain work experience alongside their studies in the UK (Student must be on a Tier 4 Student Visa.)

2. Recent graduates eligible to travel on the BUNAC Intern in Britain programme (Tier 5 visa, up to 6 months) For more information, see: http://www.bunac.org/usa/interninbritain/eligibility.aspx

Interns join a small, but dynamic and highly-motivated team of staff. We try to ensure interns have a 50-50 balance between our day-to-day work and special projects they take ownership over.

Applications are welcome from a variety of fields.  However, we tend to find most applicants come from international relations, marketing, communications, political science, international/higher education, student affairs, education or non-profit backgrounds.

Internships are unpaid and may be offered full-time or on a part-time basis around students’ class schedules. Internships may vary from one to six months in length. We will begin reviewing applications immediately on a rolling basis. To apply, students may email a CV and covering letter to intern@fulbright.org.uk, with the subject line “Awards Internship” or “Advising Internship”.

Internships are a great fit for UK students who have had study experience in the US, American study abroad students seeking to maximize their time in London, or for recent graduates able to come to the UK on BUNAC’s Intern in Britain programme.  Please note applicants must demonstrate the legal right to work in the UK, most commonly via a Tier 4 Student Visa or Tier 5 for BUNAC.  For more information, see: http://www.bunac.org/usa/interninbritain/eligibility.aspx

In previous years, interns have come from international relations, marketing, communications, political science, international/higher education, student affairs, education or non-profit backgrounds.  However, we welcome applicants from all fields and are looking for students with a keen interest in our work.

Prospective Students Affected by Recent Natural Disasters

Prospective Students Affected by Recent Natural Disasters

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is offering help with admissions and in-state tuition to Puerto Rican students affected by Hurricane Maria and other out-of-state students affected by recent natural disasters.

UWM  is providing assistance to these prospective students, recognizing that power outages have made routine transactions, such as obtaining high school or college transcripts, difficult or even impossible.

Puerto Rican and other out-of-state students, who have been affected by recent natural disasters and applying for admission to UWM for the spring 2018 semester, can apply for a tuition reduction through an established process for students facing extenuating circumstances. If granted, the reduction would cover the non-resident portion of their tuition, giving them in-state tuition for the spring 2018 semester. Students would need to obtain bona fide Wisconsin residency or submit an appeal to determine eligibility for in-state tuition for future semesters.

Admissions officers will review students’ online applications and any academic records they can provide. They also will look at previous years’ financial aid records help determine year in school and additional aid eligibility.  Application fee waivers will also be provided.

If students can’t provide official academic records, admissions officers may consider unofficial transcripts, test scores or other documents. They also may use placement testing and individual interviews to help in admission and registration decisions.

Students affected by these disasters can receive more information regarding disaster relief assistance by filling out the form below and an advisor will be in contact with you.  If you’d prefer to call or connect through social media or email, go to uwm.edu/contact and refer to UWM’s Natural Disaster Admissions Relief program in your inquiry.

We offer our sincerest thoughts and prayers to those affected, and stand in strong support as the rebuilding of lives and communities continues.
