Scotland Internship Exchange
This unique 10-week experience in Edinburgh, Scotland, pairs Bumpers College students with faculty and staff at Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC). Opportunities are available in a variety of disciplines related to agricultural, food and environmental sciences. Students’ hourly wages cover housing costs while in Scotland.
This practical, hands-on, real-world experience provides students with a new, more worldly perspective on their area of academic interest. Through cultural immersion and developing skills in a foreign country, students gain broadened world views on the agriculture and food industry, which can be applied in the classroom and professional settings.
