Notre Dame London offers students the opportunity to engage in meaningful experiential learning opportunities through work placement and internships. These programs connect exemplary students with London's world class professional prospects, creating the opportunity for both academic and professional partnership. Available to all regular semester students, these opportunities have been hosted in the past by multinational organizations, major businesses, charities, Catholic schools, and within the British government and U.S. Embassy. Engaging students in placements and internships is one of the most valuable ways we bring Notre Dame excellence to London's professional landscape.

Notre Dame London's work placement and internship programs prioritize mutual high-quality professional exchange, ensuring the experience is as valuable for our partners as it is rewarding for our students.
For students, these placements create an opportunity to make authentic, long-lasting connections with London professionals and local communities. In allowing them to delve beneath the surface of London’s culture, the placement experience is key in forming students into global citizens. Placements are also integral to academics; engaging with areas of study outside of the classroom is an indispensable component of well-rounded, experiential learning.
As well as a pivotal step in their cultural understanding of the city of London, placements are beneficial to our students' professional development. They provide an insight into how their studies may be applied in a professional setting and more generally prepare students for life in the workplace.
