England's Most Prized Internships: 72 options

England is a time-tested student favorite. Many of our placements are in London proper, within easy reach of Big Ben. Our most recent intern worked for a digital marketing firm near the Tower of London. He helped with a Facebook ads campaign for an international client. Another student gave rave reviews to a Kurdish advocacy organization in the city. She conducted original research on Kurdish contributions to Great Britain.

Newspaper work is a big draw. Past participants have interned at a major daily. Students with writing skills have hit the streets to cover political events, arts, and culture. Those on a marketing track have launched online campaigns to recruit local business sponsorship.

One of our veterinary students headed to a small town in the northern country to assist at a clinic. She did animal prep, surgery recovery, emergency field calls, and basic administration.

Museums are likewise a big draw for interns. Our favorite is a maritime museum with a replica trade ship. Our students gave tours on the ship and conducted original research on the backgrounds of 18th-century sailors.
