Your future career

Cooperative educationCooperative education or co-ops are opportunities for students to combine real-world work experience with their classroom learning. Students are assigned internship positions with global and local companies, and then bring those experiences back to the classroom for further discussion and analysis. By exploring and learning in this way, students gain valuable experience and business connections that lead to successful careers. Northeastern’s Co-op program is highly regarded, and ranked Top 15 in the USA by U.S. News.

On-campus opportunitiesEven before you start an internship, international students can also take paid employment on campus (up to 20 hours per week, but only after starting a full-time degree program), as well as getting involved in various student-led organizations and events. These on-campus experiences can boost your confidence in all aspects of English and help you gain practical interpersonal and communication skills vital for the workplace.

Professional practiceNortheastern graduates join the workforce with up to 18 months of career-related experience gained during their degree and a deeper understanding of their chosen profession puts them ahead of other candidates. Northeastern has relationships with 3,000 employers who hire students for co-ops, internships and graduate jobs, often recruiting from the University’s annual career fair, one of the largest in the region.

Working for youThe Department for Career Development at Northeastern is ranked number 1 in the USA according to the Princeton Review 2015. It offers a wide selection of interesting co-ops, internships and job vacancies on its database. Specific guidance is given to international students on American-style interviews, alumni networking, resumes and cultural differences. In addition, the US Government runs an optional Practical Training scheme for international students which gives you even more opportunities to find a job in the USA after graduation.

Northeastern helps its students explore their interests, make informed career decisions and will continue to support you as you enter the working world.

A20 Global Pathways | Northeastern University

BostonStudent cityLocated near the center of Boston, Massachusetts, Northeastern attracts the USA’s best and brightest students alongside prestigious neighbors such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. With 50 schools within 50 square miles, Boston is rightly known as America’s College Town and it truly caters for its many students with great nightlife, shopping districts and an active sports scene.

Historic surroundingsA day out in Boston is full of historic significance that few other American cities can rival. The beautiful Boston Common is the oldest public park in the USA, and the first public beach, Revere, welcomes thousands of vacationers each summer. Boston is home to the first chocolate chip cookie, the first Dunkin Donuts shop, and the first Thanksgiving Day, celebrated here in 1621.

American culture Boston was the home of distinguished, historic American figures such as Benjamin Franklin and John F. Kennedy, and you can learn more about them in one of the city’s many museums. The Institute of Contemporary Art offers regular world-class exhibitions and theatrical performances and music-lovers can spend their evenings enjoying live American music at the popular Paradise Rock Club or the fashionable House of Blues.

National connectionsWith places like New York City, Philadelphia and Montreal within an hour’s flight away, there is no shortage of fantastic weekend and vacation trips. Around Boston, the region of New England has many areas of outstanding natural beauty, perfect for being explored on day trips. Drive up to the Green Mountain National Forest in vermont, or take the bus to nearby seaside towns, Salem and Rockport.

Social sceneFrom sports bars and Irish pubs, to trendy nightclubs and sophisticated cocktail bars, Boston’s nightlife is varied, inviting and exciting. Check out cool venues like Alibi Bar in the Liberty Hotel, or take in the view at Legal Harborside, a rooftop lounge that attracts locals and tourists alike.

Sports centralSports are a major part of the city’s culture. Fans will love living in the home of the Boston Red Sox (baseball), Boston Celtics (basketball), New England Patriots (football) and Boston Bruins (ice hockey). Regular events like marathons and hockey matches create an amazing atmosphere of excitement as thousands of spectators take to the streets or the stadiums to cheer on the athletes.
