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.
Choose a location
There’s so much opportunity throughout the country, it can be a big choice to choose! Here are some popular places to pick.
London
As the most populated and central city of England, London offers interns a quintessentially British experience with its well-known touristy sites, red phone booths, and double-decker buses. Home to the London Stock Exchange, the West End Theatre, and ranked as the most visited city in the world, London has opportunities for interns in any field.
Bristol
Nestled on the western coast of England is Bristol, a city known for its long maritime history and established industries in electronics and aerospace — a solid choice for internships in England. Kick back with your fellow interns at a pub with the city’s famous cider, next to the Suspension Bridge, then get some built-in exercise navigating the city’s hilly landscape.
Manchester
Manchester is England’s second largest city after London, built on the foundations of the Industrial Revolution and still an important economic center. With no end to the diversity of cuisines and pubs, your palette and appetite will leave Manchester completely satisfied.
Choose a field
England is no stranger to large, multinational brands, and boasts many recognizable big names like Burberry, Shell, BP, and the accounting giant Deloitte.
Communications
The city’s professional field was built by people in communications by building relationships, connecting people, and being able to showcase the highlights of a company. Interns will gain some incredible and advanced international knowledge in one of the most highly regarded markets there are.
Graphic Design
Graphic Design is a field that has grown exponentially more important with the development of technology and the internet. What’s great about the field is that, for the most part, the principles are uniform so an internship anywhere in the world is a great choice. England’s offerings do have a leg up just by the fact of how robust the reputation of the market is.
Fashion Industry
You may be thinking, why work in the fashion industry in England when France isn’t that far away? The English market is one of the largest in the world, that’s why! It has a workforce of about over one million and is a billion-dollar industry. Not to mention, England is quite a fashionable place, giving birth to the ‘Modernist’ trend in fashion.
