Computers and People Image Welcome to our global internships in international media. Internship opportunities are organized according to major tracks available in Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Colorado at Boulder -- Advertising (& Public Relations/Marketing), Broadcasting (& Film), and News-Editorial.

The lists of international internship opportunities are NOT exhaustive. Rather, they provide a sampling of potential internships in various areas outside of the United States.

Below we have listed a few gateway links to multiple international opportunities in a wide variety of fields. Also below, we have listed a few links to internship opportunities with international non-profit agencies such as the United Nations that may OR may not provide internships in the specific fields of advertising, public relations, marketing, broadcasting, film, and news-editorial.
