Research, Internships and Post-Graduation Opportunities Abroad
RESEARCH & INTERNSHIPS ABROAD
Several of Northwestern's affiliated study abroad programs provide the opportunity to do an independent study or research project while abroad. Participating students conduct original research, often using a combination of fieldwork methods, such as interviews and archival research.
TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIP PROGRAMS
An increasing number of graduating seniors choose to participate in service learning programs immediately after their undergraduate studies. There are government-sponsored English Teaching Assistant programs in Austria, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Spain. The Peace Corps program provides additional opportunities, not just for English teaching, but also for students with experience and expertise in a broad range of fields.
