Curriculum:
Participants may either do a full-time academic course load program or a part-time internship program with a part-time course load program.
Prior to departing for Portsmouth students participating in the part-time internship/applied studies program will select four courses (with alternate choices) from the University of Portsmouth prospectus or course catalog. They will also be required to identify three options for the type of placement they would like to pursue or be interviewed. This will provide guidance for the University of Portsmouth faculty when arranging interviews with placement sites. NOTE: Placement cannot be guaranteed or the student will not be placed until after the successful completion of the interview process. If the student is not selected or if the student decides to not select a site full-time status will be maintained by enrollment in a full regular course load.
