About the programme
In cooperation with the University of Connecticut (UConn), AES is able to offer a Virtual Summer in Britain internship program, which affords individual students the option to study and intern for academic credit under School of Record arrangements with an accredited US institution. The programme will run for approximately 8 weeks during the summer sessions, allowing you to gain practical virtual experience at a company located in Great Britain, while earning academic credit recorded on a UConn transcript. Most majors are eligible for the programme (subject to approval by the home institution).
Together with an unpaid internship for up to 18 hours a week, students will undertake a weekly work placement online seminar hosted by UConn approved faculty.
