"All year round trick-or-treating, expeditions through underground labyrinths and uncovering works of reputed historians. This is just a snap shot of my internship experience on Capitol Hill, and to label it 'magically breathtaking' would be an understatement."

"The experience exceeded all my expectations and it is unbelievable how much we did and learnt in 9 weeks! Life in Sydney seems so dull in comparison and I can't wait to go back! I've already started saving for my next trip to the US."
Anjali Narendra

"While gaining knowledge through conventional secondary sources is extremely valuable, I now believe that nothing compares to first-hand experience. I can honestly say that the Washington DC Placement Program was an extraordinary educational experience."
Stuart Robertson

"There's something about being in the US that makes you feel pretty important. It's probably a DC thing, but even so, you feel like the decisions the leaders are making are actually impacting the world. And that's because they are. The world looks to America for answers."

Washington DC Placement Program
Overview
The University of Sydney Business School and the United States Studies Centre have teamed up with the University of California Washington Center (UCDC) to offer business undergraduate students an exclusive opportunity to study and work in Washington DC.
The nine-week placement program will enable you to live on the UCDC campus, complete three units of study, which will be credited towards your degree at Sydney, and a professional placement on Capitol Hill, in think tanks, local government and law firms.
The program will commence on 2 January, and conclude on 8 March 2013. Students will travel with Dr Leanne Piggott, senior lecturer in the University of Sydney Business School, who will provide program supervision and teach one of the compulsory units of study.
