Summer Internship Abroad Possibilities
EUSA in London
EUSA is a pan-European, non-profit, study abroad organization in partnership with Boston University, which organizes short-term work experience opportunities throughout Europe for students enrolled in top-ranked US universities. EUSA's operations on the ground in Europe have placed more than 10,000 American undergraduate students during the past 20 years.
For UT students, EUSA summer internship placements are currently available in London. EUSA placements are designed to integrate academic courses with professional work experience.
Upon satisfactory completion of the program requirements, students will earn 6 hours of affiliate credit: 3 for the internship and the accompanying internship course, and 3 for their selected academic course. Any McCombs student may count the EUSA internship credit for the required internship.
The London program is open to any UT student. More detailed information is available from C-GEO for the Summer 2008 program (PDF files):

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.
