Program Overview

Location Overview:

Formerly known as Bombay, Mumbai is an important economic and cultural hub on the west coast of the country. Known as the Gateway to India, it is one of the most populated cities in the world and is the host to a variety of thriving industries including finance, commerce and trade, and entertainment. The city’s long and diverse history is reflected in its numerous historic sites, from the Mahalakshmi Temple to the Gateway of India monument.

English is one of the four official languages, making it easy for students to explore. Enjoy the city’s festivals, concerts, museums, and more, and after a long day of work, relax on the beach. Whether you’re interested in art, business, STEM, or social sciences, Mumbai is a perfect destination for your GlobalWorks international internship experience.

What is GlobalWorks?

We connect academic study with real-world experiences by providing full-time international internship opportunities to UO students in various career fields. Working with local professional internship providers in locations around the world, we provide individualized placements for UO students. Students earn UO credits and life-changing work experience in a different culture.
