International Internships

Through Stonehill’s International Internship Program, you’ll develop broad competencies by applying learned concepts to professional practice, and strengthen personal development by living and working in a foreign environment. You’ll meet new friends, travel to exciting places and make memories that will last a lifetime.

We sponsor full-time internship programs in Dublin, London, Madrid and Paris, the cost of which is roughly equivalent to spending a semester in residence at Stonehill. Generally, all financial aid is applicable to a semester abroad.
