Graphic Design 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!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Jaeda! It’s so lovely to hear how your first visit to London inspired you to come back and experience life in the city with us. From meeting a close friend at your welcome lunch to travelling with your flatmate, it sounds like you’ve left with friendships and memories that will stay with you for years to come. 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.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Casper! We’re so happy to hear that your two months in London were some of the best of your life. It was lovely having you in our community, and we’re delighted that your placement went so well and that you’ve left with new friendships, valuable experience and plenty of photos to look back on! 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. Once a Beyonder, always a Beyonder! Thank you also for your honest feedback about the accommodation. 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!

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!

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.

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.

For students who are looking for the perfect abroad experience, I would highly recommend Beyond Academy. From applying to interviewing to my start day, Beyond Academy was extremely professional, efficient, and helpful. Beyond clearly cares about their student's experience, and I am no exception. I was given the perfect opportunity thanks to Beyond.

My internship experience with Beyond Academy was incredibly valuable, both professionally and personally. From the beginning, the program was well-structured and supportive, making the transition into a new work environment feel smooth and exciting rather than overwhelming. One of the standout aspects of Beyond Academy is the level of guidance and mentorship provided. The team consistently checked in, offered advice, and created a strong sense of community among interns. This made a huge difference, especially being in a new city and navigating a new industry. Their workshops and career coaching sessions were particularly helpful in building confidence, refining my professional skills, and thinking more intentionally about my career path. Through my placement, I was able to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, creative environment. I developed practical skills, learned how to collaborate effectively within a team, and gained insight into the realities of working in my field. The exposure to real projects and responsibilities helped me grow quickly and feel more prepared for future opportunities. Beyond the professional side, the cultural and social aspects of the program were just as rewarding. Meeting other interns from around the world, exploring the city together, and sharing experiences made the internship even more memorable. Overall, I would highly recommend Beyond Academy to anyone looking to gain meaningful work experience while also growing personally. It’s a great balance of professional development, support, and adventure, and it has definitely been a defining experience in my journey so far.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Anna! We're thrilled to hear that your internship in London was both professionally and personally rewarding. It's especially great to hear that you felt supported throughout your journey and that the workshops, career coaching, and community aspects of the program helped you build confidence and make the most of your experience abroad. We're also delighted that your placement gave you the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects, develop new skills, and gain valuable insight into your chosen field. Experiences like these are exactly what we hope our interns take away from their time on the program. One of the best parts of an international internship is the people you meet along the way, so we're glad you were able to connect with fellow interns and explore London together. Those friendships and memories often end up being just as impactful as the professional experience itself. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We loved being part of your journey and can't wait to see where your career takes you next. Wishing you all the best for the future!

Tilly has been very friendly and patient with me. The process was easy to follow and we are frequently in touch. I felt supported throughout the application and the internship. An overall smooth and enjoyable experience!

I had such a great summer with the Beyond Academy programme! From the very first application to them, they were always there to guide me and give me advice. I got some great feedback and help with my CV and some really good interview practice. The internship I ended up doing was a marketing internship with a theatre in Islington. It was so much fun! I learned so many skills, and gained a lot of useful experience. Especially where PR is considered! I'm already in talks for a graduate job directly because of this experience! The London coordinators were such great people and super helpful! They were also a lot of fun at the Beyond events I attended (of which there were a lot, and often were covered as part of the programme)! Overall, I highly recommend using Beyond as it is such a stress-free way to complete an internship, experience the culture of another city, and really stands out on a resume!

Wishing you all the best for your next steps and remember, you’ll always have a home with us in London! 🇬🇧✨

A program like this feels like its too good to be true. Especially when you consider I found them on Instagram. Regardless, it was one of the BEST experiences OF MY LIFE!!! The Beyond Academy staff was so beyond helpful with finding me a placement, getting me a visa, etc. Once I was in London (my placement location), the community team was there supporting me before I even set my bags down. Litterally, I had to call them to get my accommodation keys and they helped solve the issue in minutes! I could not have asked for a better experience with a better program!

We miss you, Maya! 💛 Reading this absolutely made our day — it brings back so many great memories from your time in London. Our team still talks about the energy and positivity you brought to the program! We’re so glad we could be part of an experience that meant so much to you, and we’re even more grateful for the lasting impact you left on everyone here. Wishing you all the best in everything ahead, and don’t be a stranger, our London doors are always open! 🇬🇧✨

This internship was one of the greatest decisions of my life. Getting to meet all of these amazing people from all over the world and work closely with another culture for a few weeks was super enlightening and is an experience I wouldn’t trade for the world. The coordinators were super kind and helpful, allowing me to enjoy my trip and get the most out of my internship.

I chose AIFS Abroad because of their strong reputation for international internships and the level of support they provide throughout the experience. They successfully helped me find a placement aligned with my career goals. I joined the London Internship Program in Spring 2025, drawn to the city’s vibrant culture, global connections, and professional opportunities in the theatre community. From start to finish, the AIFS team was incredibly supportive—answering questions before departure, guiding us during orientation, and checking in regularly while we were abroad. The housing was safe and well-located, and I loved the group excursions to Stonehenge and the Cotswolds, which helped me to make friends with other study abroad students/interns in my program. My internship at a local theatre gave me real-world experience, improved my communication skills, and boosted my confidence in navigating a professional environment abroad. There was equal opportunity to enjoy the city to the fullest, spend time with friends and travel while also balancing the work experience my internship provided me. I’d recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone looking for a well-rounded, supportive, and life-changing internship experience!

Absolute was present not only in finding us an internship but they also made sure we had activities planned for the weekends, including visiting other cities and different places in London. Overall would recommend for anyone who wants to not only gain professional experience but also for someone who wants to learn about different cultures and different countries.

If you are looking for an experience to immerse yourself in another culture while being in the workforce, this is the thing to do. London has amazing food and the people are extremely nice. Also, you will make a lot of friends.

I fell in love with London thanks to Absolute Internships. Not only did my placement manager, Tilly, find the perfect internship for me, but my onsite coordinators, Emma and Courtney, provided me with all the resources and support to take on London with peace of mind. Sure, I could have found an internship, housing, and figured out the visa process all by myself, but I would have been far too stressed, and the experience would have been tainted. Absolute ensures you get the most out of your time by helping you navigate your transition and the city, which is invaluable. Needless to say, I will be singing this company's praises for years to come!

From day one, I was impressed by the company’s efficient workflow and collaborative culture. My supervisor and colleagues were approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to guide me. Their mentorship helped me apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges, sharpening my problem-solving and communication abilities.

This was a great experience because I learned a lot of new skills in branding and marketing. Interning at Acumen Media gave me hands-on experience with real campaigns, and I felt trusted and supported by the team throughout. The working environment was creative, collaborative, and motivating. I had the chance to contribute to projects involving social media, content creation, and strategic planning. This internship helped me grow professionally and gave me real insight into how branding works in the media industry. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to gain practical experience in a dynamic and inspiring workplace.

This internship really changed my life in ways I couldn’t have predicted. I had the idea that it would be constant fun, constantly doing things and waves of excitement and learning. But it was a combination of those things, but it came with a lot more difficulties than I expected. However, I actually think that it was vital for my growth as a person and it turns out I’m grateful for them. I also got a full time job offer and I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish that had I not taken this chance. I will be forever grateful for it

Your proactivity in getting involved with projects and the team was outstanding. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with the community team and hope you are enjoying your new job!

I was super nervous coming into this as I had never done anything like it before, but the Absolute team made it easy and seamless. There was always something to do- whether it was a group dinner or a weekend trip, I was never bored. We had plenty of freedom to plan our own trips as well and I was able to make extremely valuable memories. I will never forget this experience and highly recommend!
