Internships Abroad Possibilities – connected to exchange programs
Some of our exchange partners offer study abroad students the opportunity to also complete an internship while abroad!
Mexico; ITESM. All three locations, Monterrey, Estado de Mexico, and Queretaro, offer internships with an internship class that works as the BBA internship class. Students are eligible if participating on the BBA exchange to ITESM. The internship application requires a transcript, two passport-sized photos, a resume in English and Spanish, a short essay about the field in which you would like to work, a letter of recommendation from a professor (you can use the same recommendation that is submitted for your UT study abroad application), and US $100 admission fee.

Thailand; Thammasat University. Finance internships possible; exclusive internship opportunity for UT students! The finance-only internship opportunity is quite flexible, and considered on a case-by-case basis. Junior or senior finance majors studying abroad through the BBA exchange at Thammasat University are eligible. This 3-credit-hour course requires 200 internship hours -- quite a huge commitment, but amazing experience!! It may work best for seniors who have fulfilled all coursework at school, yet plan to gain a real-life working experience before graduation. However, participants can definitely choose to take other BBA and non-BBA courses (i.e., Thai language, Thai culture, etc.), if their schedules allow. You need to submit a CV (resume) and a statement of purpose specifically addressing an area(s) of finance in which you are interested. All materials are due 4 months in advance, so planning well ahead is required.
Australia; University of New South Wales. The UNSW Study Abroad Office organizes internships for exchange students, but there is a separate charge of $1,800 Australian that participants must pay. Exchange students can also use the Careers and Employment Office to find alternate internships once they are matriculated at UNSW.
Australia; Australian National University. Full time internships are available as a stand-alone program or after an exchange semester, through the Australian National Internships Program http://online.anu.edu.au/anip/
Germany; WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management. Exchange students can use the Career Services Placement Office to find an internship once they are matriculated at WHU.
Chile; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Exchange students can use the Career Services Placement Office to find an internship once they are matriculated at PUC.
Italy; Universita Commerciale Luigi Bocconi. Full time internships are available to follow an exchange semester. Students can apply after their arrival in Bocconi through the Career Service office, www.cs.unibocconi.it/en
