Frequently Asked Questions
WHO SHOULD I COMMUNICATE WITH ABOUT DIFFERENT ISSUES?
We encourage you to contact the department directly responsible for the area in which you have a question in order to expedite the process. For a list of departmental responsibilities and a complete staff listing, please visit the Our Team page. Each of our university partnerships is also managed by a member of the Institutional Relations Team. Any parent, student, or programmatic questions can be directed to them and they will help secure necessary information from London, Dublin or Amman.
WHAT IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS?
FIE works directly with our partner institutions to assure that our application process is in-line with the on-campus processes. Independent students applying to our programs from non-partner institutions should check with their study abroad advisors on campus before beginning an online application with FIE. All students apply to our programs online. Before beginning the application process, they will select their university to determine program eligibility. A detailed step-by-step application process is included on our Admissions Process & Application page.
Students on London or Dublin internship or service internship programs submit a resume and personal statements as per our application guidelines. Please see our Internship pages for step-by-step instructions for students on preparing their internship materials as part of their application.
Students on London internship or service internship programs must apply for a pre-entry clearance. More information about what information is provided and required for US nationals and students from other countries for their visa can be found on the Before You Go - London page.

WHAT COMMUNICATIONS DO STUDENTS RECEIVE PRIOR TO ARRIVAL?
Once a student has started the application process, they will receive a series of important emails prior to arrival. Emails will be forwarded to program coordinators and visiting faculty (if applicable). We advise that students check their emails (including their junk mail) regularly so they don’t miss any important communications. Students can also view messages through their application homepage. Students may receive additional emails depending on their application status, visa requirements or program type.
