A Guide to Interning Abroad in England

Prepare to Intern Abroad

Set goals

A great idea for any intern heading abroad is to make some goals! Here are a few to help you get started for your internship abroad in England.

  • Learn practical skills or techniques. Spend intentional time, like working alongside a mentor or signing up for a class covering the material, on it to refine, grow, or expand your skills.
  • Be aware and develop soft skills. A new environment can help jump-start one of those skills if you're in a rut.
  • Find a community outside of a professional setting. Find your place in England outside of work by signing up for a class, recreation organization, or group.

Understand the benefits

There are plenty of perks for interning in England, here are just a few highlights.

  • International market. England has, and continues to have, one of the greatest variety of career fields to work in. From arts and tourism to business and tech, the country has plenty of leads for all!
  • Great location. The island is a spectacular jumping-off point if you’re looking to explore the Republic of Ireland, Europe, and even Northern Europe.
  • Professionally regarded. An internship here can unlock a lot of future job opportunities and showcase some great qualities before you ever sit down for an interview.

Things to know

Wherever you head off to in England, know, any intern should be aware of the following.

  • Accommodations. The included living arrangements are typically in homestays with a local British family, apartments, or residence halls with other interns. You can also opt for a homestay and find out if afternoon tea lives up to all the hype.
  • Visa and paper requirements. Non-EU citizens seeking internships in England will need to acquire a Tier 5 visa. Consult GoAbroad’s Embassy Directory for the latest info on visas required for internships in England.
  • Cost and logistics. England’s cost of living is moderately expensive, especially in London. Consider roommates, budgeting, and finding a student or young traveler passes for public transportation and social outings to save money. The countryside towns are less expensive than London.
  • Cultural and social etiquette. England is a pretty casual country in terms of general social norms. Drinking is a part of the casual social fabric of England, a drink is fair game after work or something more formal.

I found out about The Intern Group through my university, and I wanted to give an internship in London a shot, as I was taking a gap year after getting my Bachelor's degree. I tried to have very few expectations going into it, as I was afraid of getting disappointed in one way or another. I am happy to say that the experience I had with this programme would have exceeded even the highest of expectations I could have had. The pre-programme process was as smooth as it could be, with only some minor bumps along the way. Finding my host company was fun, and I made the right choice in the end. Our accommodation, albeit pricy, was very clean, and the staff were helpful and friendly. My flatmates were some of the most amazing people I've ever met, and I genuinely believe that I found lifelong friends in them. The internship brought lessons that I will take into my future career. Most of all, my coworkers and manager were incredibly patient and taught me so many things, both work-related and not. From the beginning, I felt welcomed. Everyone treated me with the utmost respect, as if I had been an employee there for years and not just an intern. Our coordinators were the sweetest people ever, and I honestly couldn't have wished for better people to support my London experience. The social events were always fun, and I loved meeting the other interns. I made some good friends (and memories) along the way! If I could, I would relive it all over again. I've grown, both personally and professionally, for the better. Overall, 10/10 would recommend, both for the CV boost and for the sillies :)
