Tulane vs. King’s College London: Which offers better access to global internships?

The main tradeoff is London’s day-to-day proximity to multinational employers versus Tulane’s stronger connection to the U.S. Gulf South and a more distinctly American campus-to-career pipeline. King’s College London places students in a major global business, policy, media, legal, and nonprofit hub, where internships with international firms, NGOs, government-facing organizations, and cultural institutions can be reached without leaving the city. Tulane offers meaningful international pathways, but New Orleans produces a more specialized internship market centered on areas such as public health, coastal resilience, energy, trade, hospitality, and community organizations.

King’s has an especially international student body and alumni community, and its careers services, employer programming, and London location can make it easier to build contacts across countries and industries. For students interested in international relations, global health, finance, consulting, law, media, or nonprofit work, London can provide more frequent access to employer events and term-time opportunities.

Tulane’s career support and alumni connections are valuable, particularly in the United States, and its study-abroad options can add an overseas internship or professional experience to a degree. Its location also creates unusual access to internationally oriented work tied to the port economy, disaster response, environmental policy, and Latin American or Caribbean connections.

For the broadest access to global internships during the academic year, King’s College London has the clearer advantage because London itself is an international employment center. Tulane may be the more compelling choice when your interests align with its New Orleans-based sectors or when you want to build a U.S. network and pursue global experience through study abroad.
