International Business With Internship

The MIBI program takes core modules from our Master's in Interntional Business, which in itself gives a solid grounding on the practices and principles of business in an international environment. This coupled with the opportunity of an additional 12-week internship, will not only allow you to put learning into practice but also give graduates the skills and experience to stand out in a competitive global market.

Absolutely. Employers are looking for graduates with real world practical experiences who are ready to make an impact. Taking an internship will allow you to develop the technical, practical and business tools. Doing an internship in the specific role you want to pursue after graduation gives you a great depth of employability skills.

This will depend on your future career goals and your visa requirements.

For those who may struggle to get a visa, would like to increase their chances of gaining a graduate visa (OPT in US or Graduate Immigration Route in UK) or want to leverage the network and opportunities of their home campus the Domestic Pathway is the preferred option.

If you'd like to have a global internship experience, working away from your home campus of study, and you don't anticipate visa complications (as a US/British Citizen, Green Card holder, or permanent resident) the International Pathway may be the preferred option.

12 week internships are unpaid. Internship sponsors invest time and effort in training and mentoring their interns. Internships are primarily educational and skill building opportunities.

12-week internships are very highly competitive. Your enrollment advisor will help you understand the preparation you need to do at Hult to compete and win one of these opportunities.

Well-prepared, highly skilled students who follow the accelerated Hult employability training program will be offered at least one internship in their role of interest. Students are welcome to source their own internship but all offers must be received and approved by Hult no later than March 15, 2024.

For both the Domestic and International Pathways, internship sponsors are typically small and medium enterprises. Companies may be startups, nonprofits, or innovative high-growth small businesses.

These organizations tend to give students more individual attention and mentorship, as well as substantial responsibilities and growth opportunities. You'll likely find yourself working hands-on with challenging and rewarding projects. In fact, Hult has a track record of successful internships with such companies, where our students consistently learn and grow.

12-week domestic internships are offered in the immediate region of your home campus of San Francisco, Boston, London, and Dubai.

International internships are offered in Barcelona, Dublin, Singapore, and Stockholm.

If you decide to source your own internship it must be in the region of your campus. In addition, we do not approve fully remote internships in this program. (e.g. You live in Boston, never travel to be onsite with your employer, and do a fully remote internship via Zoom to another city.) To maximize your learning experience, we have found that you need to be on-site with your employer.

If you opt for a remote internship, you can do so through our traditional format 2-credit program. Prior approval by your campus team is required.

• Practical Application of Knowledge: Internships provide an opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge you've gained in your coursework to real-world situations. This hands-on experience helps you understand how academic concepts translate into practical solutions.

• Skill Development: Internships allow you to develop and refine a wide range of skills, both technical and soft skills. These can include project management, problem-solving, communication, teamwork, time management, and industry-specific skills relevant to your field of study.

• Networking: Internships enable you to build a professional network within your chosen industry. You can establish valuable connections with industry professionals, potential mentors, and future colleagues, which can be instrumental in your career development.

• Resume Enhancement: Having internship experience on your resume can make you a more competitive candidate when seeking full-time employment. It demonstrates to potential employers that you have practical experience and are familiar with the demands of the job.

• Job Opportunities: Many companies hire their former interns for full-time positions after they complete their degrees. An internship can serve as a foot in the door and increase your chances of securing a job at a company you admire.
