The International Internship Program At the heart of Richmond’s MA in International Relations is a prestigious Internship program that allows students the opportunity to experience what they had previously only been able to study; the real life dramas that define life in the international arena. By drawing upon our network of contacts, Richmond is able to offer a wide range of exciting and rewarding Internships that are unrivalled in this field. Our commitment to the Internship is at the core of the MA program, for it is designed to ensure that our postgraduate students receive far more than an academic qualification; they receive invaluable experience working in a related field that cannot be replicated in text books or the classroom. The Internship provides a head start in the quest for meaningful employment, as the experience has been the starting point of many a successful career, as a student encounters valuable contacts and opportunities during the placement. Below is a sampling of internships that Richmond students have previously engaged in: Dr Eunice Goes BA Lusiada University, Portugal MA Warwick University PhD London School of Economics Dr Goes has taught politics and researched at different British and American universities based in London, namely the LSE, the Royal Holloway College of the University of London, UCL, Ithaca College, amongst others.
