Internships in England

I spent 2 months living in London completing an internship in London for Business/Marketing, and I had the most amazing time! I had never really travelled much before with my family or anything growing up, but in 2025 I went to Europe for 3 weeks fresh out of high school with just my best friend. We started and ended the trip in London, and I knew straight away that London is a definitely a place I want to experience living in one day. I was super lucky I had such an amazing flatmate who I became super close with, and I also made another close friend at a lunch I went to on my 2nd day in London to meet some of the other interns. We all ended up hanging out together in London heaps, I went to Barcelona with one of them which was so much fun! I also got to see some friends from home (Melbourne, Australia) while I was in London which was amazing too. Towards the end of my time there, I even went to Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest with some friends from home which was incredible!! I stayed in Sheffield with my flatmate at her uni for my last weekend before going back to Australia, and got to go to Manchester with her too! Everyone at my internship was always super lovely and helpful throughout my time there, and I really learnt a lot which was amazing. Overall, I had an amazing time, and feel so much more independent and confident having to figure things out and adapt on my own. I'm really glad I did it, I had the best time and it really showed me I'm truly capable of anything I put my mind to!

We’re also delighted that your internship team made you feel so welcome and helped you learn along the way. Hearing that you’ve returned home feeling more independent, confident and sure of what you’re capable of is wonderful. Thank you for being part of our London community—we can’t wait to see where you go next! Once a Beyonder, always a Beyonder!

I have had such an amazing journey with beyond academy. The staff were wonderful and accommodating, my placement program could not have gone better, and overall I had the best two months of my life. If I had to complain it would be about some aspects of my accomodations, which were not through beyond academy. They helped me find a place and booked it for me, but were not the owners of the building and thus were also confused by some of the occurrences that happened there. Beyond academy helped me to resolve those issues and even brought bedding when the accomodations forgot to provide any. This team is very good at what they do.

Your advice about researching the city is a great tip for future Beyonders—London always has something new to discover. We wish you all the best with your next chapter.

We know those issues affected your stay, and we’re glad our team could help resolve them and get the missing bedding to you. Although the property is managed by an external provider, supporting you throughout your stay is an important part of our role, and your feedback helps us identify where improvements are needed.

Studying and interning in London this past summer through CEA CAPA was truly such an unforgettable experience. Being able to immerse myself in a new culture while also experiencing what it was like to work in a different country was something I will always be grateful for. CEA CAPA gave me the support and encouragement to step outside of my comfort zone, try new things, and make the most of my time abroad. I loved being able to explore different parts of London through my classes and actually connect what I was learning to the city around me. My internship also gave me valuable real-world experience in an international environment. Most importantly, the people I met made the experience so special. I went into the program not knowing anyone and ended up making some of my closest friends with people from all over the country. Overall, CEA CAPA gave me the perfect balance of academics, work experience, travel, independence, and friendships. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget!

At the beginning I HATED my internship and i thought i hated the job. But I think the most important learing curve was to give yourself the grace and the patience of being uncomfortbale and to learn something new. because i only hated the fact that it was something different so i felt uncomfrotable, but once i was able to sit with that and allow myself to become familiar with it i really enjoyed it.

My experience in Thailand has been so fun! I got to see a lot of the major temples and sites that are a must visit. I made many friends with the other interns here. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. They helped me with any questions I had or anything in general. Overall my experience was amazing, 10/10 would recommend to anyone on the fence about it! I would even come back if I could!

London was the most unrealistic experience for me! The work-life balance culture, dressing, food, lifestyle, people everything seemed like a fantasy. These 2 months are something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Never did I think I would get to meet such great people, eat all this food, and party as I've never done before! The experience coordinators were the absolute best. They ensured we had a great time, did not make us feel like we were away from home, and most importantly, they were our friends! We talked, ate, and went out together like we've known each other since forever. Honestly, I wasn't sure about this entire experience, but once I got here, oh boy, I would give my heart and soul for this to just be my reality. My opinion, be unsure, dream unrealistically, spend that money, overthink it, but take that step and go for it, because what's the worst that could happen?

My internship with The Intern Group was a very valuable experience for me, both personally and professionally. As this was my first experience working in the industry, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect, but I was able to adapt to the working environment much more easily than I thought. One of the most valuable parts of this experience was that it made me think more seriously about the career path I would like to follow in the future. There are so many different areas and opportunities within computer science and technology, and having the chance to gain real work experience helped me better understand what kind of work I enjoy, what I am good at, and what might suit me best in the future. I also had the opportunity to meet new people, experience a different working environment, and learn many things outside of my university studies. I am especially grateful to my workplace mentors, who were incredibly patient, supportive, and welcoming throughout my internship. They always took the time to help me whenever I had questions or was unsure about something. Everything was explained to me in great detail, and I was guided through unfamiliar tasks in a way that helped me genuinely understand what I was doing. Having such supportive mentors made it much easier for me to learn, build my confidence, and feel comfortable in my first professional working environment. I also really appreciated all the events and activities organised by The Intern Group. I genuinely enjoyed every event I attended, and they made the whole experience even more memorable and enjoyable. They were also a great opportunity to meet and spend time with people from different backgrounds and make new connections. I am very thankful to The Intern Group team for organising them and for always being so supportive throughout my time here. Overall, I am very grateful for this experience and for everyone who contributed to it. I feel like I am leaving with a clearer idea of my future career, new experiences, new connections, and great memories. Thank you to everyone who made this experience so positive!

Traveling alone was very scary, however, the team at Absolute Internship supported me through the entire process and made my London internship experience one that I wish I could re-live over and over.

Alex, Peach and team were super professional and helpful all through the process. I was very impressed with their attentiveness and professionalism. I was placed with a great company in a timely manner. I had a wonderful experience with my internship. I have prior work experience and I still learned so much from this. It was also wonderful getting to see London and learn all about the city.

Programme staff were great, good work experience. Social events were fun and well organised, easy to contact programme staff. Internship experience was valuable and interesting, great if you hope to find a job.

I truly had the best time during my internship abroad with The Intern Group. I had the most fulfilling work experience, met some of my closest friends, and really enjoyed every moment. Peach and Alex on experience team at the intern group truly fostered an environment where everyone felt welcome and we had the most fun excursions. I would recommend this program to anyone

This summer was amazing! I met so many incredible new people from all over, and have explored new and exciting places. Everyone has been super helpful in this experience, and I can’t imagine a better way to spend the summer!

An unforgettable experience where I gained valuable work experience, developed new professional skills, and built lifelong friendships. I’m grateful for the people I met and the memories I created throughout this journey.

London is an incredible city with a rich history, diverse culture, and endless opportunities. I enjoyed exploring its museums, theatres, parks, and vibrant neighbourhoods. The public transport is convenient, and there is always something new to discover. Although the cost of living is very high, the experience of living and working here has been unforgettable. My internship gave me valuable insight into the UK healthcare system and helped me improve my communication skills. I hope I will have the opportunity to return and work in London with a work visa in the future.

Although my time in London was brief, I met incredible people who turned what could have been a lonely trip into something truly special. I left wishing I could stay longer and already planning to return. It is an experience I will treasure for a long time to come.

My intern abroad experience in London was absolutely incredible. I grew so much, both professionally and personally. Professionally, I learned so much about financial technology and its sub sectors. Personally, I become a more outgoing, social person. Alex was my primary Intern Group leader and he was absolutely fantastic.

At the first day of my internship programme there was a orientation programme for 3 days. they told us about the property how they runs & which department is situated where in the hotel. I have completed my internship programme from JW Marriott. I enjoyed & learned various skills such as multitasking, Communicating, learning to deal with diversity & dealing with deadlines are diffrent when you are working for others. The internship helps me to enhance my skills in kithchen.

The experience I got from my time at work was incredible. I learnt so many new skills in my industry and felt as if the work I was doing meaningfully contributed to the company. But beyond work I felt living alone in London let me grow as a person. I had so many unforgettable experiences that wouldn't have been possible without The Intern Group. I have made friends for life!

The internship is a good way to meet and network with people. You not only gain social skills, but also develop skills in your designated profession or field. As a bonus, you also get to experience a new city and it’s culture.

I had an amazing time in London. The programme was fantastic, giving me the opportunity to make lots of new friends while exploring the city. One of the best parts was how international the group was, it made the experience even more enriching and enjoyable. A special thank you to Alex, who was incredibly accommodating, supportive, and always willing to help throughout the programme.
