Program Overview

Program Description:

Unique and diverse internship placements are customized to meet your needs and correspond to your academic and professional background.

Your internship in China will not only give you valuable experience in your field, but will allow you to explore the immensity of Chinese culture. Our placements are available in Shanghai and Beijing with rolling basis program start dates that can last from 6 weeks up to 6 months.

Shanghai is the commercial and financial powerhouse of China and Beijing touts its history as being the first post-industrial city in mainland China.
