What Is An International Internship?
International Internships are an independent, work-oriented experience in an international, cross-cultural set-ting. Students bridge the gap between their academics and their professional career as they pursue personal-ized study with the guidance of a faculty mentor and receive individualized training under the tutelage of a field professional.
The International Internship philosophy is that students gain real-world experience in the globalizing workplace while gaining language and cross-cultural skills that contribute to academic learning and a BYU degree.

Crazy right? Parliament! And that's the thing, this will be real work, not just getting coffee. Writing speeches, doing research, attending meetings, and heading up projects.Can i handle that? I went to the first class of the prep course, and the other 6 kids are wayyyyy too smart for me. I'm just getting started in my major! They are all seniors with double majors and crazy credentials. See what I mean? How did I get this? How long can I keep the trick up?
Pros:
Living in EUROPE! I'll be able to visit everything! Paris! Rome!
Once in a life time work experience. Nothing compares
It will help my resume stand out, better job in the future
