The Global Intercultural Experience for Undergraduates (GIEU) at the University of Michigan creates new opportunities for short-term (3 or 4 week) intercultural study of a global nature at field sites, both domestic and abroad. The program enables 12 to 15 undergraduates (GIEU Student Scholars), led by faculty members (GIEU Teaching Fellows), to learn in rich cultural environments while gaining a greater understanding of global situations and processes. GIEU is now part of the new U-M Center for Global and Intercultural Study.

The Center for International Business Education offers internships in French-speaking countries, German-speaking countries, and Eurasia (Turkey, Singapore, Malaysia). As an intern, you’ll enjoy maximum contact with native speakers and opportunities to practice and build on your language and business skills. Naturally, once you are overseas, you’ll have the flexibility to travel on weekends to soak up the ambience of your host country and surrounding areas.
 
The summer positions in France and French-speaking countries (France, Belgium, Switzerland, and French-speaking Canada and Africa) give students the opportunity to put their French language skills into practice in an authentic work environment. Good spoken French is required for these internships.
Contact Rachael Criso at rcriso@umich.edu for more information
 
The University of Michigan Summer Internship Program in Germany is an exciting opportunity for students to complete internships in Germany during their summer break. Internship placements are available in a variety of fields and are customized to match students’ career goals. Most internships are paid and scholarships are available to participants that receive unpaid internships.
Contact Janet Van Valkenburg at jvv@umich.edu for more information.
 
The Eurasian internships in Singapore, Malaysia, and Turkey offer exciting opportunities where local language skills are helpful, but not required. We are currently developing additional internship opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa.
