Internships

Many of our students undertake internships abroad or in the U.S. with direct relevance to their health and society degree in non-profit organizations, businesses, government, media, and international organizations. You can receive credit for the internship, but even non-credit internships offer excellent opportunities for gaining priceless practical experience and networking opportunities.
