Gain A Competitive Edge: Intern in London!

“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." — Samuel Johnson A lot has changed since the adventures of Samuel Johnson. London was big even then, but now the city boasts an astoundingly large population of around 8 million, making it the most populous city in the European Union. More than 300 languages are spoken within its borders. London proudly has four UNESCO World Heritage Sites dotted around the city, 857 art galleries, and more than 170 museums. An internship abroad in London, one of the world’s most storied cities, is a major step on a path to a truly well-rounded career.

Why Should You Intern in London? A London-based internship program provides access to not just a fantastic city, but to international work experience in one of the major world capitals. London has grown into a leading global hub for finance, music, business, fashion, research, medicine, and tourism. From the financial districts of the City of London and Canary Wharf (second in prominence only to New York) to the abundance of not-for-profits in London, the city is full of exciting opportunities with high-level, well-known, and industry-respected firms and organizations.

Tick Off the Bucket List. When your working day comes to a close, the real fun begins! Spend your free time checking out London’s fantastic historic sites, museums, and art galleries. Re-live history at the Tower of London, home to the Queen’s Crown Jewels, or try to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty from the gates of Buckingham Palace itself. Enjoy a panoramic view of London from Europe’s biggest Ferris wheel: the London Eye. Or marvel at the entire city of London from the top of The Shard, Europe’s largest skyscraper.

Out And About In London Town. This city is well known for its abundance of nightlife. This includes hipster favorite bars of East London’s Shoreditch; university and tourist haunts in Old Street and Brick Lane; and glamorous nightclubs of Leicester Square, Mayfair & Piccadilly Circus, where you will find a packed dance floor.

London is a shopper’s fantasy. Immerse yourself into London life by visiting the many outdoor markets scattered across the capital, where anything and everything is for sale. From scrumptious food and fresh fruits and veggies to vintage clothes, cutting-edge fashions, funky art, and impressive antiques, London’s got it all. Check out world famous department stores on Oxford Street, Regents Street and Knightsbridge, home to upmarket Harrod’s, known as the grandest store in the world.

What Can An Internship In London Do For You? As in any internship, this gives you the chance to explore career options related to your interests, values, skills, and personality; to develop valuable workplace skills, boost your self-confidence, and gain knowledge about your chosen industry; and form important networks and connections in London and beyond.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), class of 2012 college graduates who participated in internships were more likely to be offered post-internship employment, have a prospective job secured post-graduation and earn a higher starting salary than their counterparts who had not undertaken an internship (NACE’s 2012 Internship & Student Survey).

It is more crucial than ever that job seekers set themselves apart from their counterparts all fighting tooth and nail for every job opening created. An internship abroad in London gives you the upper hand, distinguishing yourself from others in terms of skills, knowledge & expertise. Come to London and see what awaits you!!
