Biology Internships in United Kingdom

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!

My time in Scotland was absolutely incredible! So much more than expected while also changing and improving my life and who I am. It allowed me to be in a place and have the opportunity to work with animals in a new and unique setting that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. From working with the birds to spending time with the seals and large mammals I fell in love with the SPCA!

I absolutely loved working at Vet for Pets in Falkirk! Everything from work environment, learning opportunities, and hands on experience was phenomenal. Loads of surgery shadowing time, helping to recover post op patients, and watching consults. I would recommend this opportunity to anyone interested in small animal veterinary careers! I would love to come back one day!

I had a great time interning with the professors in Dundee, Scotland. They helped us integrate into the culture and navigate our new surroundings while also providing us with useful professional experience. I do feel that the admin of Adelante was a bit unorganized as far as knowing important information and providing context. I also found the meetings leading up to be a bit un informative and I would rather it be a time for us to meet each other than ask personal questions to a large group (many of which weren’t answered anyway). Overall I had a great time with this program, I just wish I had some more clarity in the earlier stages of the trip.

I was stationed with the best group of girls! The work we did was really fun and I created valuable relationships with people that work in my desired field of study. Every weekend was spent exploring and taking excursions! A great way to spend the summer!

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!

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!

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.

I truly enjoyed every day i spent at Moredun. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly which made me feel at home. From farm life to cells under a microscope, I saw it all. I am so grateful for this opportunity that I had and I couldn’t have asked for more. This experience exceeded my expectations and I will miss everyone dearly. Until next time!

I have absolutely loved my time working at Queen Margaret Univeristy within the psychology department. I got to work with 3 different professors on their research projects, and they gave us lots of flexibility in shaping their research projects . This is an experience unlike anything I have done before, and I got real world research experience that will help me further my academic and professional goals. I have also loved living in the city of Edinburgh, and I don't want to leave!

The program is what Adelante advertises- adequate housing is provided and collaboration with researchers in the psychology department at QMU is arranged. Our program had a significant amount of free time which is ideal if you plan on traveling outside of Edinburgh.

Going into this program, I was extremely nervous about everything from living situations to transportation. I have never been outside of my home country and I have never traveled by myself. Adelante Abroad made this experience extremely easy and less nerve-wracking. The Adelante staff are extremely nice and friendly. They are happy to answer any questions you have and they will gladly recommend places to visit based on past experiences from students. The housing I was given was perfect. It was just a short distance from a train station, a grocery store, multiple bus stops, a tram stop and multiple restaurants and cafes that were delicious. The housing allowed me to truly be immersed in Scotland's culture. My placement was absolutely phenomenal. The staff were absolutely amazing. They answered all of my questions and were super friendly. They also gave me great recommendations for food and travel to do outside of Edinburgh, which was where I was living. This program was a once in a lifetime opportunity and being able to participate in such a great program is the best thing I have ever done.

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!

The best thing you need to know about Linguistic Horizons is the great support system. I often communicated with Nicole from the start of my application, my departure and all the way to the end of my internship, and she was absolutely fantastic. So nice, friendly and helpful and willing to hear you out always! I had some issues with finances and my placement and she sorted it out like nothing. I would recommend this experience not only because of the the prospects of being abroad and immersion, but for the cultural and work life that awaits you. Loved everything about my experience and I'm sure you will too!

Thank you, Angellah! I'm so glad you joined us in London!

Being able to work in a global city as robust and diverse as London allows you to meet so many different people from all walks of life as well as multiple experiences that are great too! Creating a good work life balance was crucial and it allowed me to enjoy being in the office as well as my time off to experience the city and all it had to offer!

I recently completed a three-month internship organized by Beyond Academy, and it was an incredibly valuable experience, thanks to their exceptional support. From the application process to the end of my internship, Beyond Academy was consistently there to guide and assist me. The application process was smooth and personalized, with the team taking the time to understand my career goals and match me with a suitable internship. Once I started, they maintained regular contact, ensuring that I was supported throughout the entire experience. When the internship deviated slightly from my expectations, Beyond Academy quickly addressed my concerns, showing their dedication to my growth and development. The London team was particularly friendly and approachable, organizing diverse activities each month. They were open to suggestions and always had a Plan B in case of unexpected situations, like bad weather. This attention to detail and adaptability made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Beyond Academy went beyond simply organizing an internship; they were genuinely invested in my success. Their professionalism, coupled with a genuine care for their participants, made my time with them enriching and rewarding. I highly recommend Beyond Academy for anyone seeking a supportive and well-rounded international internship experience.

For a person who had never traveled to the other side of the pond, I have to say that it did not disappoint. Scotland was beautiful, its city, its culture and its people. The intership placement was incredible and full of knowledge and learning. I loved the balance that the program has planned for you so that you can get to know your surroundings and meet and share with new people. Although everything is a little expensive there because of the difference in currency, I have to say that I would love to do it all over again. I’m very grateful for the experience.

Ive loved the program, they supplied everything they said the would and I have gotten to have an amazing time in Scotland. It feels like the program is a little unorganized at times but that's understandable because it's not an easy task and since they are willing to be patient with me I will be patient with them.
