Diversity & Inclusion

We are committed to providing quality study abroad and domestic study away programs for every UW-Madison student. We work strategically to identify, address, and remove barriers that may prevent participation and to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for students. Our staff actively engages with students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds and prioritizes the continuous development of our knowledge and cultural competence. We also recognize the importance of increasing access to study abroad for historically underrepresented student populations. We are committed to diversity and inclusion so that every student can engage with and understand their identity through a new lens and continue to develop and make progress on their personal, professional, and academic goals.

Sustainability

We recognize that the future of study abroad, domestic study away, and international internship programming requires a Commitment to Sustainability. We are devoted to examining, developing, and improving sustainability in all our endeavors, aligning with campus priorities and following through with UW-Madison's climate action and Resilience Commitment. Join our efforts and learn more about how to study abroad sustainably.

The summer internship program provides you with the opportunity to spend 8 weeks interning in Dublin.  You'll earn a total of 3 UW-Madison credits.  For specific details on the courses and academic structure of the program, visit the FIE program page.  Be sure to check out FIE's Internship Industry Areas for more information on the types of internships available.

After you've been accepted to the program, FIE's Internship Team will work with you individually to match your skills and background with an appropriate organization.  You will be required to confirm your participation on this program prior to receiving your specific internship placement.  You will be informed of your specific placement assignment after arrival in Dublin.  As with all study abroad experiences, flexibility and open-mindedness are key.

FIE Dublin Summer interns are at their internship placements 4 days a week. Alongside your internship, you will take FIE's International Internship Course, which combines your placement experience with faculty-led seminars, written assignments, and other academic reflection. 

SOHE Students:  You should request SAB 370 as the course equivalent for your internship seminar and connect with your academic advisor once your credits from abroad transfer.  Your advisor will make the appropriate substitution for your required major internship course.
