Summer Internships in China

Chinese Academy of Urban Planning and Design, Beijing

Summer Internship Program 

Congratulations to the new cohort of PSU MURP students who will be interning in China this year: Shavon Caldwell, Derek Dauphin, Jennifer Koch, Colin Rowan, and Iren Taran. 

The interns will be placed with the Chinese Academy of Urban Planning and Design (CAUPD) and the Shenzhen Institute of Urban Planning and Design to work on projects in Beijing, Shenzhen, and throughout China alongside Chinese planners. The host institutions in China will cover in-country living expenses and any internship-related in-country travel, food, and lodging. Students will pay for airfare to and from Beijing and for their visa.

The China summer internship program is specifically for MURP students (those enrolled in the Masters in Urban Planning program) who are seeking an internship overseas, and who are open to new experiences and adventure. Any area of specialization will be considered. China is a fast-developing country, and living conditions and other aspects of daily life, quite apart from cultural and political differences, will be different than here in the US. Chinese language ability not required. CAUPD staff speak English and seek English speakers to work with.

The application cycle for Summer 2012 is now closed. For more information, contact Prof. Connie Ozawa at ozawac@pdx.edu.
