International work experience challenges your personal interests and horizons.
It also enables you to test your intended career field. St. Clare's can
arrange a variety of internships, all of which provide many valuable opportunities
for students.
If
you wish to pursue an internship for credit you must secure official approval
from your home institution before coming to St. Clare's. Furthermore,
details of your proposed internship should be sent to St. Clare's at least
eight weeks prior to your arrival in order to be considered.
Please
note that students are expected to devote the equivalent of one academic
day per week to the internship, that there is no teaching support for
internships, and that students will receive no payment. Students will
receive full reports on their internship at the end of the semester. Academic
credit for internships is entirely at the discretion of your home institution.
