i am a non eu citizen doing masters in finance in france and would like to apply for summer internships in uk in 2004 with the investment banks.could anybody inform me whether non eu citizens are eligible to do summer internships in uk?thanks

I think you may be able to do it, as I have heard of American students doing internships here in UK.(The following points are under the assumption that the French MSc system is the same as for the UK)However, and I have made this point previously to another guy on a similar thread, you have to remember that the MSc is one FULL year of studies and that you will be required to do a dissertation during the summer of 2004.Ask yourself whether you can really manage both an internship and a dissertation (worth a large chunk of your final mark) at the same time. I think a lot of people stay stuck in undergrad mode when they start their MSc's and forget that an MSc is one FULL year of studies (using up the entire summer) and is not like the usual 9 months of undergrad studies plus a free summer.I have also just started MSc Finance (at Birkbeck College), how about you??? How has it been so far?? Send me a PM and we can keep in touch as our MSc's progress.Whatever you choose to do, good luck!Zak

But then again all those part-time students are doing their disseration over the summer at the same time as working full-time, going on holiday, etc.! It's tough but you can come through the over side with only a mild coffee addiction.
