Will my four-month internship count as work experience or only as an internship for my resume and statement of purpose in UK for a Master's?

Yes, your four-month internship can be counted as work experience on your resume and statement of purpose, especially if it was relevant to your field and involved meaningful responsibilities.

In the UK, many master's programs value internships as practical experience, particularly for technical fields like Computer Science. However, for programs like MBAs, some universities may require full-time post-graduation employment, so internships may not always meet formal work experience requirements.

Highlight the skills and achievements from your internship in your application to show its relevance and impact.
