Support for International Internships and Study Abroad Programs at LPU

Introduction

At LPU, we recognize the value of international experience for our students, providing robust support through various initiatives that foster global opportunities for academic and professional development. This article delves into the measures LPU implements to assist students aspiring to pursue international internships or study abroad programs.

International Collaboration and Partnerships

One of LPU's key approaches to supporting international internships and study abroad programs is through our extensive network of international collaborations and partnerships. We have established strategic alliances with universities, organizations, and institutions across the globe. These partnerships create a range of opportunities for students to gain international exposure and build competence in a diverse cultural environment. LPU works diligently to identify suitable international partners and programs that align with students' interests and academic goals.

Study Abroad Programs

LPU offers a variety of study abroad programs, allowing students to spend a semester or academic year studying at partner institutions overseas. These programs immerse students in different cultural and educational environments, broadening their perspectives and deepening their global understanding. We assist students throughout the application process, including visa requirements and academic credit transfers, ensuring a seamless transition. Industry internships and real-world experiences are integrated into the curriculum, providing students with practical insights and skills that prepare them for careers on a global scale.

Language Support

Language proficiency is crucial for successful international internships and study abroad experiences. LPU offers comprehensive language support services, including language courses and training, to help students improve their language skills. These courses are particularly beneficial for languages that are prevalent in their preferred destinations. Enhancing language skills not only boosts students' ability to communicate effectively but also aids in adapting to new cultural contexts, thereby maximizing the benefits of international exposure.

On-site Experiences Through Industry Internships

Students at LPU have the opportunity to gain valuable on-site experience through industry internships. Our partnership with corporate giants like Cognizant, Microsoft, Infosys, ABB, ISRO, Simplex, and others provides students with practical, hands-on training in a real-world environment. These internships help students understand the latest trends and challenges in the corporate world and enhance their problem-solving skills. From the current batch, the highest monthly internship stipend offered is Rs 1.6 Lac, highlighting the financial support and recognition provided to exceptional interns.

Professional Enhancement Programs (PEP)

To ensure our students are well-prepared for the competitive job market, LPU offers specific courses under the Professional Enhancement Program (PEP). These courses start from the first semester and continue until the final semester, covering essential skills such as communication, teamwork, and project management. Exhaustive preparatory sessions are conducted before major placement drives, targeting leading brands and recruiters like Trident Group, Colgate Palmolive, Phonepe, Marico Ltd., Ernst and Young, Accenture, Flipkart, Wipro, Hindustan Unilever, Godrej Consumer, ITC Limited, Bajaj Allianz, MRF, and others. This ensures that a higher percentage of students secure good placement offers at competitive packages.

International Study Programs

LPU encourages students to study abroad through a series of international study programs with partner universities. These programs range from short-term study tours to earning a degree from a partner university. Our international division works closely with students to help them select a study abroad program that aligns with their career aspirations and helps them achieve their life goals. This holistic support ensures that students are well-prepared and supported throughout their international journeys.

In conclusion, LPU is committed to offering comprehensive support for students interested in pursuing international internships or study abroad programs. Through international collaborations, diverse study abroad opportunities, language support, and professional enhancement programs, we provide the necessary tools and resources to help students excel on a global stage.
