Custom University Group Internship Programs

Available in: Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, China

We understand that internship requirements vary at each institution and in each academic department and that in many cases pre-set internship models will not accommodate specific needs.  For these institutions and departments, GlobaLinks Learning Abroad creates custom group academic focused internship programs.

Our pre-set  internship programs are comprehensive professional development opportunities that feature the right partners and internship sites, full-time staff support, on-site Resident Directors, and a well-planned orientation and pre-departure preparation. Our established internship placements are well above entry level work with a focus on serving the student’s academic and career interests.  We seek to foster academic, personal, and professional goals and learning objectives from the applicaton stage through re-entry. These internships are offered for academic credit through Chapman University and include in-country academic mentorship through our Academic Assessment Coordinator.

Your Custom University Group Internship Program will be a combination of  the same high quality services and internship program standards highlighted above and your specific program requirements. A Custom University Group Internship Program also gives your institution the opportunity for program ownership and allows for special billing and financial aid use.

There are multiple ways we can facilitate your custom program:

• You can opt for a program focused on a specific major or you can allow for enrollment across all studies.
• You can choose to utilize one of our exisiting pre-set models, but add in extra services for your students and facilitate the academic credit through your institution.
• You can design your own program from start to finish. This includes specific fields of study for placements, special academic assessment facilitation, custom program dates and length, custom amenities and services, and the location of your choice.
• You can opt to have the program be faculty-led, allowing a faculty member to travel over with your students to host lectures to enhance the internship experience.
