International Internships

The International Internship ProgrammeImage Bank 5

 

Our Internship Programme (6-12 weeks in duration) is designed for organisations that require additional resources to begin or complete outstanding business projects.  We can provide motivated, well-educated volunteers from international universities, who can help drive your company forward.  In return candidates can develop their business skills and gain experience of working within the UK.  We understand that every employer is different and aim to find the most suitable candidates for you.  Once a candidate has been chosen, we will keep in regular contact with you throughout the internship to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
 

Student profile 

 
Our candidates come mainly from Japan and the U.S. and offer a wide variety of skills and experience. They are graduates and undergraduates from reputable universities, aged between 19 and 35. As members of the 'Study Abroad Programme' at the University of Westminster they opt to combine their academic studies with a voluntary placement in a field related to their skills, experience and interests.
 
We have successfully placed students in a range of projects and examples of employers include:

Think London

The Princes Trust

Credit Suisse

London Symphony Orchestra 

The Conservative Party

MIND
